I don't work in the schools, so I certainly can't say with any authority, but when I went to our current school district with 20k in sponorship (before rookie grants), 15 freshman that wanted an FRC team, 3 experienced FIRST mentors, and parents willing to start a booster club in may of 2014 - our initial district representative still didn't want the team to start until the 2016 season.
So based on my experiences it's not surprising to think it'll take a while to see a noticeable effect unfortunately.
