Starting a new team in Rochester NY

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to read and (hopefully) help me here..

Heres the story, right now, we have 1 FRC team between 2 schools, however, i am the only student on the team from one of the schools. I believe this has to do with transporation problems between the two schools and parents not wanting to go to a different school to pick up their child. I figure this can be solved by creating a new team so that each school has its own team, hence, eliminating transportation problems. Sounds like a decent solution, right?

Now the problems. First or all things, ill have to get approval from administration due to the fact that advisors do get paid. Also, we would need to get funding for the team, however it is late in pre-season, which may also be cause for it to be turned down by the administrators. Of course, there is also needed participation, but i dont feel that would be much of a problem.

So now, here is where i am trying to find help. Does any team have any prewritten letter of some sorts that isnt too long but fully explains FRC? Also, is there any team in or somewhat near Rochester that would be willing to help us possibly come into contact with local companies or help fund a team directly from them?

There may be things i might of forgotten, if so, please mention them....and as i said above, thanks for reading this and hopefully helping
