Re: Team Sustainability
There are many more reasons that I am not posting on here that we are upset with their involvement. One being the shipping contact never did anything and we were put in jeopardy of competing
Another person to add on to the list of people who have caused nothing but hardship for this program is our building principle. We have tried to post flyers and posters around the building and he will not let us. He also would not let us use the school gym on Saturday night because of a basketball game the night before, there are two gyms. I eventually had to go talk to him about a storage space and he said he would get back with me the next day. It took him 2 weeks and I had to follow up with him. Our principle supports the FFA program tremendously, he is always saying America Needs Farmers. The deal with him is just absolutely ridiculous.
We have had some dealings with administration that fixed some of the issues with access to buildings halfway through build season. But in our system the principle will always stand behind the FFA teacher, just the way it is. And our superintendent will always back the teachers and principle. A few people got angered at us because we are not following the chain of command, information first has to go to the teachers, then principle, then superintendent. These teachers have denied certain things in the past about who did what and who offended who when some administration talked to them. And admin will believe them, not us.
Admin will back up the FFA teacher in the fact that we are not allowed to use his area for our purposes because he is not involved. The superintendent seems to support the program partially but he seems limited in power and knows that it will take a lot to keep this program afloat.
We have looked into 501(c)(3) and are considering that option to get out of the school's fiscal system, the people who run that are also very non supportive of this program. They actually limit our spending, even though we are spending our own money.
We are all really lost, but my parents and I have talked and we decided if it is in our school system there is another close team that would like to have me on their team. See I did everything that someone else slacked on during build season. And I have been told that the stress really impacted me, but I never noticed.
