It is student-led with "assistance from our Austin FCA representative, coach sponsors and parent leaders."
That's a lot more school involvement than I care for.
It's not affiliated, officially, with the school, but guaranteed it's sponsored with money from an outside organization at a school facility.
Last Spring this group also handed out bible info to kids as they walked to their buses. That felt super shady, but was legal because of their distance from the building.
@ThatDamnCat if it's on school grounds rent-free and the school is keeping the lights on, that's functionally sponsorship.

I wish I knew what the arrangement was.
I make the presumption that it's rented, that the FCA has compensated the district for the use of this, or compensated the PTA somehow... but I don't know for sure.
What I do know is that this had to clear the Principal, the PTA, and the School Distrct, and that concerns me.
I know how much schools need funding. I know our district sends millions to the state to be redistributed... but I feel this is the wrong way to fill money gaps.
