Let's not talk about disbanding teams, and instead talk about about investng our money well, and consequently being able to expand our teams (the programs we participate in aren't our teams - the teams are the people, not the program).
Picking the right program(s) (like FRC or some of the others) that give(s) our people STEM inspiration and opportunities, and that fit our local contexts (shop space, sponsor $, mentor talents and time, etc.) is something wise adults are supposed to do (in collaboration with and) for the benefit of the students.
We can almost always do that without putting disbanding or shrinking the team, on the table; and that is a happy thought to hang onto.
