Fundraisers begin Monday for Fairfield-Suisun School District students to participate in robotics competitions in Houston and Kentucky.

The first fundraiser will take place Monday at Mary’s Pizza Shack in Fairfield, with events to follow April 14 at Panda Express and May 3 at Chipotle.

School district trustees meeting Thursday reviewed a waiver of state law to allow the district to help pay for a $20,767 trip by eight students at Grange Middle School and Armijo High School to compete in the VEX Robotics World Championship scheduled April 19-22 in Kentucky.
