I haven't used the old CF source encryption, but from what I read some time 
back, it's easy to decrypt.

If you don't trust the school districts with your source, you could always 
offer hosted solutions where each district gets their own server/VPS all 
set up and ready to go.

You could embed some form of server authorization schema, phone home, or 
encrypted key that's exchanged with your main server (And logged, of 
course) when the server/application starts.

There are many solutions, but in the end; If you hand out a copy of your 
code, someone somewhere will break it open, if you offer hosted solutions 
that problem goes away, but you would be responsible for running the 
servers.
