I think you need to ask yourself (1) what will the computers be used for and (2) how will you support it.

I support StLee in having one in classrooms to allow for projection but only if the teachers know how to use them. If you guys have labs and that has worked for you then it may be the best option.

For support, if its already in place, then you are all set. If not, possibly contract with a local PC vendor?

I would stay away from iPads, netbooks, and notebooks. PC's will last longer, cost less, and give you expandability options in exchange for portability (which probably isn't needed in a school environment).

Also, tell your procurement folks to check out deal websites vs buying blindly at dell.com or hp.com. You can really get good deals if you look for them.
