Perhaps you don't need a entire distributions.  You could provide a CD with
several rpms (or debian packages for debian systems) that is designed to 
overlay an existing system such as RH, Debian, Mandrake, ect. in such a 
way as to make it more k12 friendly.  At first I think realisticly you
would want to target one distro to overlay.  At anyrate this strategy would
allow you to concentrate for the most part on only on the educational 
objectives and not fuss with things like what kernel to use, filesystem,
ect.

Just a thought...james
