You could maybe see if there is a coach or mentors from a nearby veteran team or somebody from FIRST Canada that can come to the school to talk to either the school administration or the teachers. Maybe somebody like that would be better equipped to discuss with your teachers any problems that they have developed with the FIRST experience and resolve them or maybe find a compromise. Do you know why your teachers have lost interest?

If you end up in the last-ditch situation of having to re-found the team separate from the school like EricH suggests, nearby teams may also be able to lend you some parts to make a demo bot with until you get your KoP next year.
