Re: What does your school do for FIRST?

Our school administration is not too supportive of our team, except for the janitors, who are pretty cool. The school at least gives us a little bit of money and a room, which we are really thankful for.

We have a huge problem with the metal shop because they won't let us turn on the power without a 'Certified Machinist', even though the students using have been trained by the metal-shop teachers themselves, and are watched by a teacher. This issue is understandable as the school can be liable. The problem is that we don't have any "tech" teacher's who support our team. They are the only ones in the school who are 'Certified Machinists'. We almost always have to get a parent, who is a machinist, to come in all the time. Last year, this parent was very gracious to send us one of the machinists from his company almost everyday.

Anyone else have this same problem? How do you deal with it? Going to another facility is not an option (something about our school board not allowing us to =S )
