I really hate when I hear stories like this.
Keep up the good work you folks have done over the years and good luck in your quest to continue the program beyond your current situation.

Every time I hear about things like this in the FIRST community, its frustrating as it hits home all the time in what we have endured as a program going into our 15th season.

Sometimes our worst challenges are from our own school/district.

As a transient school with respect to both teachers AND administrators (Our 6th set since I've been here), we always have to prove ourselves and we have a lot of jealous people that want to tap into what our sponsors have dedicated to STEM and Robotics.

We rely heavily on the FIRST community, our past Governor (for several years), and our main sponsors/grant writing to provide the foundation for our team.
Perhaps you folks could work towards some alternative sustainability plan to help take your issues out of the equation.

The impact FIRST has had with our former/current students and their families is proof enough for us to keep fighting along.
