We are spending $20,000 to install access points and routers throughout the school...
On the note of wireless signals, this has been talked about a lot here recently:

What the article (and most others) dont mention is the "turn-on" date of the wireless networking, which was some time late in 2009. The wireless systems were installed for 4 years but were not turned on. Oh, and the transmitters/repeaters are about 20x more powerful than an average wireless router as well..

They should just use powerline networking technology given that you need to plug your laptop in to use it in a school setting anyways really.. sure it will last for a class or maybe three, but its not going to last all day..
