Engineering and Robotics program in danger

I ran across this article in the Nashua (NH) Telegraph online yesterday and it really concerns me. http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/...y-program.html It describes a school board meeting where they are discussing saving money by cutting the engineering program including the FIRST Robotics program and talks about the many people who showed up in support of the programs. It is not my team (although I am very familiar with them) or my town but it bothers me knowing that this was even being considered. These people must not understand the value of these programs.
What can be done to help them get it? I applaud the students and others who showed up to testify at the meeting. I posted a reply in the Telegraph’s comment section with some suggestions to help them understand if they want to.
Good luck to FRC team1073, The Force!
