John-

That's great that you are installing Lyceum in a k-12 environment. This is 
one of our favorite applications.

Question: do you want the students to be able to register themselves? Or 
are you going to be creating all of the accounts yourself?

If it's the latter, then i think the best solution would be for you to use 
a stock lyceum with nothing changed, EXCEPT the unique requirement on 
email in the database and in the signup process.

does that sound like a good solution? if so, i will put together a wiki 
page outlining how to achieve this. let me know.
