Does bring up an interesting point- some management systems can easily configure radios to go down and come back up on a schedule- the APs stay live but the radio interfaces shut off. For example, Cisco's WLSE made short work of this on the IOS-based APs. Unfortunately, the WCS that manages LWAPP does not have this ability... the capability can be very handy at times and for a variety of reasons.

If you don't want the students using wireless networking while they're in class, the easiest thing to do might be to unplug the APs in that building.
