Any school that teaches hand craft skills should be kept alive at any price. A certain school pretty close to me was at the verge, but it managed through hardest times (Covid etc.). After about three years ago a local company was founded, and now the school has trouble to push enough of pupils through the courses that this company needs. Other companies have found these skilled people, too.
Keep it up! Don't let far east to be the only source of knowledge and skills.
