VERY interesting.  Seems the school center organization may be more
interested in making money
than serving students/teachers but their stated goals are great.  Looks
like just the kind of 
project a LINUX user's group could start up with FREE software and
documentation.

I also found the plugged in group itself interesting.  Would be great to
build up a physical location
where students AND parents and any other interested local citizen could
come to learn some simple 
computer skills, learn of some useful websites, learn how to use email. 
Wonder if some local Internet
Service Provider might be interested in taking on such a community
project with volunteers maintaining
the actual location and the ISP providing free or very low cost internet
access.  Aside from
the public service aspect, it would be a great way to promote the ISP
for internet connection away
from the center.

Note that I'm passing your suggestion to the Kalamazoo LINUX users'
group - the education subgroup.
Any comments?
