You might try looking into a consortium of local schools, so that for each
school their portion of the shared cost is less than an individual
subscription.   If there are other schools in the area which are
interested, you might ask a SCOLA representative how it works.  We are part
of such an arrangement on our campus but I don't know the mechanism.
(Unfortunately the antenna got fried during an electrical storm so we don't
have access right now, but that's another story.)
