I certainly don't know of any resources for you, and I'm pretty sure that
Schoolforge doesn't have the visibility (yet) you'd need to get your message
out.  Your best bet would be to exhibit at some conferences like NECC
<http://www.neccsite.org>.   These are where you'd be most likely to contact the
decision makers for such things at various schools and districts.
