I think Google's Chromebook "licensing and support" strategy might be the best fit here... allow the school a way to license yearly, not only the content but the device and a lot of hand holding.
This would give predictable costs and allow schools to outsource work they aren't as good at - tech support.
Not sure how this would play with Apple's hardware-focus sales strategy however.
