my school is facing similar problems.
first of all, it's really two schools in one. there's the 10 - 12 building, and then the "9th grade annex". the 9th grade building used to be a middle school, and the 10 - 12 was one of two high schools. then, the district moved everything around, so all four grades are in two buildings, but still on the same campus.
now, the room we were in this year was in the FC (freshmen campus). i'm not sure if we can use it next year, because the teacher isn't going to be in the club next year, even though that shouldn't matter. now, at the 10 - 12 building, the admin is being as stupid as possible. they're knocking out half of the wood shop to put in an ISD room! then they're ripping all of the servers out of the current storage place (one of the admin offices) and moving all of the school's servers across the building, rewiring the entire network along the way. nowhere, is the thought of a room for technology/metalworking/ROBOTICS/etc.
luckily, next year we'll have a few seniors at a local college (SUNY Stoney Brook), so we *may* be able to get a room there (if we're nice, and the seniors are nice too
). if all else fails, we'll be working in someone's garage for 6 weeks. not the best, but we made do without any fancy tools this year (all our parts went out for machining). i just wish we could get a place outside of the school's jurisdiction, cause it's quite frankly getting annoying.
i just wish that learning was more important than ISD. this is the reason why the person who invented politics should burn in hell forever.
