AirGroup is another network solution. I have my own, dropping Bonjour packets from Apple TVs at the core so teachers can only see the ones in the building they're in. But you and I are network admins, in an ideal world we shouldn't be touching anything above Layer 3. Our sysadmin for Apple devices handles the printers, why can't he do Apple TVs as well? >You ca nalso limit what users have access to devices, so Students may not >be able to display on classroom monitors, for example. I haven't gone quite that far yet - currently students have no access to the Apple TVs. My next goal is to allow the teachers to give permission to a particular student to display on an Apple TV, but that will require coding up a web interface to change policy roles to bridge Bonjour for that student. I am interested in their user registration system, such that residents can only see their own Apple TVs, but does it let the user authorise others to use it, e.g. for shared residences?
