Sugar interface is fine but it is essentially a Window Manager [1] and IIRC it is available for Fedora. Why can it not be ported/extended to the SchoolOS distro which is based on Ubuntu? There is already some effort on the way [2]. What I am suggesting is look for convergence between the various efforts and effective use of resources (limited).
