School problems

[JIN]

Our school administration is really constricting our team at the moment. The school insists on controlling and holding all our money (to keep it safe from greedy opportunists I guess). Unfortunatly, to get any of it out requires days of paperwork and a 30 or so day waiting period after the papers are done. We simply cannot work with that delay, imagine waiting a month to buy a box of screws !
We made a separate banking account to avoid these delays. However, the school found out and demanded the account be shut down, and to give all the money to them.
In addition, insurance policies require us to have a school staff present for ANYTHING we do. We thought this wouldn't be a problem at first. However, no staff member volunteered to have a permanent presence with us. We designed a sign up sheet so staff can volunteer to sit in our room. This gets us past the policies, but the teachers don't do anything but sit, and convincing them to even come is beyond tedious! To make things worse, we're getting complaints for "making them come". This was completly volunteery and we forced no one to come.
To approach this issue we asked the principal to hire someone new who could commit his/her time to the team. The principal told us the school didn't have the money (though I've recently found out they spent thousands on a bowling party or something of that nature).
The school just seems like it's trying very hard not to cooperate with us, though it may be the administration itself giving us the hard time. I also hear rumor that our team will be shut down if we don't solve this. Hopefully it's ONLY a rumor. Please, Our team has ran out of ideas and I simply can't live without robotics (literally), any help? Thanks.
