My own network is at home (nowhere near school) and i have never tried setting it up at school.... but maybe it's something to look into.
Our network is "Locked Down" but there are PLENTY of ways arround everything that they have done. one example is the copy and paste function being disabled to prevent files being transfered, but you can still right click and drag files wherever you want them...... doesnt make much sense. Our system defanatly "Has issues" but it also has 2 or 3 T1 lines (depending on the status of the distance learning lab) tied right into a www2 portal.... so that's REALLY cool. When they redid our school they tied EVERYTHING in to the network, even the climate control for every building in the district. (you can ajust the temp of any building from any other building or at home with the propper permissions). Even phone calls are through the Network, even from building to building, and since it can be a long distance call to call one end of our district from the other, no matter what school you call from, it routes the singal to the elementary school in that town and then out so its always a local call! In short, we have a realy crazy network, but some very simple security things have been overlooked. (not just the c/p thing... that's just an example of their attempts, i dont really think that even counts as a security breach, just an inconvinence!)
