Here's an article that talks about a Colorado school switching
to Linux:

I think it would be a very, very good project for this LUG
to get involved with the local school systems and encourage
them to use Linux.  Many of us could probably even volunteer
our time to help set things up and train people to administer
the systems.  Or, people could volunteer to remotely adminster
the systems for free.
