Re: School Board Problems
Also does anyone have a list of how FIRST matches up to subject areas in the school. This might help if we can show that while they are actually out of school the are not out of the learning experience.

I sounds like you have a major communication problem. I feel your frustration, as last year we had one of those bottomed out years where everything seemed to go wrong, including having all out of state travel canceled at the last minutes due to the war. There went Philly....
Make it a priority to request a presentation with the school board and superintendent in the late spring so they know what you are about.
We had the head of our school board (and president-elect of all the school boards in Maryland) write us a testimonial this year. It is wonderful and talks about what a fantastic learning experience FIRST is, and he addresses various skills that are learned. I would be happy to email it to you if you feel it might be helpful in the short run.
