Re: What to do when you lose support from your school?
I want to echo Billfred's suggestion. Our team lost funding from our school a number of years ago. We struggled for a couple of years then contacted 4-H. While we haven't received a lot of money that way, we are able to get more sponsors because some of them will not give money directly to a school but will to a 4-H club. I can honestly say we are much better off because the team is now in control of our finances and are not at the whim of the school or district.
We have been able to hold onto our build space in the school though. If you do lose the funding, try to hold onto the build space. If they don't have to provide funding, the school may be willing to let you keep the space. I know I'd have a bigger problem finding replacement space than replacement funding.
Good luck.
Ivan
