Stewart:
I've looked for School/Joomla forums with no success. I don't know how many school folks are using Joomla but I imagine the potential is huge. Many districts host their own sites and are affraid to load MySQL and Joomla - in fact our school district won't consider ANY open source software - so now I know where my tax money is going!!! I'm not a school district employee so our district wouldn't even consider my offer to assist them - even for free.
I know of at least 1 hosting company that gives free hosting to public schools... Joomla is free. Andy's templates are reasonably priced. So the "materials cost" of this effort is pretty low - I'm suprised it's not more popular.
The chief of technology here did make an interesting comment - "If we use Joomla, who will administer it?" They perceive Joomla and Open Source to be lacking a support network. There's a ton of turnover here - so they are concerned about loosing the webmaster and not being able to find a replacement with adequate knowledge.
I think a forum for schools is a great idea. I would really like to see a Joomla consultancy that specializes in schools with remote support. Your sites are perfect examples of how Joomla can be used in schools of any grade....
Keep up the good work!

Very well made indeed.
Small thing though, is that all the "Pictures" buttons on the sportspage menu are not working properly. Trying to view them result in a nice "_G2_WRONG_ITEMID" error window.
