Re: Interesting story re: FRC1432 in Portland, OR's loss of school system support.
We had a similar issue two years ago with our OCCRA team. The previous OCCRA faculty mentor moved, so we had to find another, and nobody would do it.
Since the position was equal to that of a coach, the school allowed us to find someone who wasn't a teacher to lead our OCCRA team. The school pays them a very small amount, same as they do to coaches.
As for the money thing, ours school takes all of our remaining money at the end of the year (June ish). We send it all to FIRST to pay what we can of our registration fees in advance to avoid this problem.
Hope this helps.
