IMO,
the decision to continue or end a program should not be directly decided by students/parents.
Instead, there is a process in which they could provide input via School Community Council (SCM as it is called in Hawaii). Not sure what the approach is for California, but I am sure there is something somewhat similar setup?
Communication however is VERY important.
As stated in the article, many students and their parents have steered their educational choices and goals around the FIRST program in SB. Not surprised at all since it is a world class program.
Hopefully they find a happy medium and solution.
Very curious about why the decision was made. Lack of resources? Volunteer time?
