It sounds like you have an opportunity here to invite some of the "financial" staff at the school to come spend 6+ weeks with your students to help then "learn how school finance works". That just may have an additional side affect. They will see why it is so important to you to have funding when it is needed, and not just when it fits their criteria. Some leniency may be developed if you get them actively involved in the students activities, and see the value and benefits that participation in FIRST provides.
