There is an Eanes ISD Participation fee for all students involved in DI.
Fees are placed into a district DI Fund.
Competitive Challenges (typically 3rd grade -12th grade): $150 per student
Non-Competitive Challenges (typically Kindergarten-2nd grade): $60 per student
(Note: 2nd grade students selecting competitive challenges will be charged at the Competitive rate.)
There are no exemptions allowed for anyone already paying other participation fees to Eanes ISD.
Note: Purchases for National Memberships in DI as well as registration for Regional and State Competition will be paid by the district DI Fund. Remaining funds in the DI account, if any, will be used to help offset expenses for anyone advancing to Global Finals.
Additional expenses will vary and may include travel, t-shirts, and team materials. Team
Managers are required to have a background check for BOTH the Region and also the school district, at the team’s expense.
All teams are expected to find two appraisers (judges) for the regional competition; if they do not, they are assessed a $100 fee per missing judge (amount to be divided by team). Please start now to locate two willing individuals to be your appraisers!
