James,

Are you donating the computers, or just offering to install Linux on
computers they already own?  I don't mean to be a downer, but from your
message, it sounded like they were asking for cash and/or hardware, not
services/labor.  I would expect that the school's IT dept. will set up
all of the computers the way they want them regardless, since they will
be the ones having to support them long-term.
