I think most of all, they wouldn't like the results even if the wireless worked. I imagine instructors will at some point expect to be able to mirror a single device to all twelve screens at once, so they all show the same thing, and I don't believe that Apple's AirPlay will work that way. It's my understanding that if they have 12 Apple TVs, they'll need to be running 12 separate iPads/iPhones/Macs to take advantage of those screens. If that's what they want to do, that's one thing... but somehow I don't see it being used that way. It seems much more likely that what they really want is one AppleTV connected to a redistributor that will show a single instructor's iPad across all 12 screen with only one connection, or if you have a good enough controller system, just those screens that the instructor selects.
Now, about the wireless actually working... hahahaha, how cute. What you could do is run a network drop for each AppleTV, and make sure the wired network drop gets an address from your wireless range, or is exposed to your wireless range via a bonjour gateway. That would at least take a lot of the traffic out of the rf space.
