Hey Bjorn, I'm afraid I don't have any hard data for you, but you might look at the FUSS project:
http://www.fuss.bz.it/welcome-fuss-project (English translation link available on the left side) http://lwn.net/Articles/150474/ They have developed their own distro (Debian-based, I believe) as well as a migration plan, training materials for teachers, and so on. They don't seem to have any progress reports available, but they do have contact information posted, so maybe they can help you out? I believe there have been similar moves in other countries -- at least India and, I think, Spain. I don't know of any U.S. examples, though. I'd like to see some data too, if you turn any up. Let us know if you find anything!
