We have office already but this may help students with compatibility
issues and may also provide
additional functionality with a number of your items
Is this possible Are there any cost implications
Are there any other issues
You can install OpenOffice on as many computers as you wish, without
cost. You can also hand it out to the students, for them to install on
their home computers.

Phil, I have worked with many school districts installing Ubuntu and of
course OpenOffice comes with it. The biggest "cost" I have found is
adults that a spread sheet is a spread sheet and a letter is a letter in
any application. Some people truly believe that MS Office is the only
way to type a letter. And the cost factor comes in through the horrific
tech calls from people saying - How do I do this? - and you answer - the
same way you did in MS Word - and they do it right there on the spot and
you move on to the next caller with the exact same question.
You might think I'm being funny but - I'm really not. That is the only
cost I have found - overcoming ignorance.
