We dont really have any problems like this. However I would suggest you talk to your superintendent and ask for a public demonstration at a school board meeting.
We have been doing meetings like this for years. We have not had many problems with our school. Our school district backs us up 100%
I would have to say our team is the most successful thing our school has. They even pay for the first entrance fee.
The only problems we had with them were minimal. We planned on taking private cars to the Philadelphia regional this year and the school said no. We told the school we didnt have enough money for a bus so the school dug some $$ out of their funds!
Show your school district what you CAN accomplish and what you have accomplished!
