The ifthen latex package is your friend here.
In the LaTeX preamble (Format>Document>Latex Preamble) insert
\usepackage{ifthen}
% create toggles
\newboolean{students} % print students parts? TRUE|FALSE
\newboolean{teachers} % print teachers parts? TRUE|FALSE
\newboolean{CDscript} % print CDscript parts? TRUE|FALSE
% print everything by default
\setboolean{students}{true}
\setboolean{teachers}{true}
\setboolean{CDscript}{true}
and in the document, include the relevant parts with ERT boxes
(red latex text press Ctrl-l to get it) containing
\ifthenelse{\boolean{students}}{}{
and
}
.

There are 2 options: You change in the preamble or in an ERT box at the
top of your document e.g.
\setboolean{students}{false}
\setboolean{CDscript}{false}
to get the teachers script. (And change and print again for all other
versions.)
Or you create wrappers for all versions that contain the "right" preamble
and include the main content (Insert>File>LyX-Document). In this case,
the inserted file should not contain the setup code in the preamble, as
this would override the wrapper setting.
