Re: I've got a dying team and really need some assistance.
Some folks are giving advice that assumes you want/have to be associated with a school and/or have "your" school faculty involved in your team.
Being connected to a school can be very helpful (and occasionally isn't), but don't get tunnel vision.
Operating under an umbrella supplied by Scouting's Venture program, 4H, Boys & Girls Clubs, a homebrew 501C3, a local business, etc. are all perfectly fine alternatives to being a school team.
Florida's Exploding Bacon team might have some good advice to offer.

PS: Consider switching to FTC/VEX for a year or two if sustaining the FRC team turns out to be too hard. Again, avoid tunnel vision.
