'Wanted to let you know Franklin HS team 1432 is alive and well. They have moved to a new location for the 2011 season where they can build, were able to gather their tools and robot and we were able to have their FIRST grants and Intel donation funds sent back to FIRST and Intel respectively.
Appreciate everyone's concern as it shows what a supportive community FIRST is, but we can let this one rest and prepare for a very exciting 20th anniversary season!'
I'll post this on the other thread too.

If there is value in a discussion regarding the importance of teachers with regard to the topics of sustainability and stability, then that would make a valid discussion in its own thread. Regarding this thread, 1432, and their situation - the quote that I've included in this post suggests that we can let the topic of that situation - rest.
