I guess I could wade in here with some info about K12Admin.

SSL is not mandatory, just prevents packet sniffing attacks.  If you are
only allowing internal access, and are using switched hubs this is not a
problem.

For your purposes, you only want students to be able to change their own
passwords?  This could be done easily with K12Admin.  Teachers only have
access to accounts if they are added to the "Account Administration"
group.
