NZ school ditches Microsoft and goes totally open source

A New Zealand high school running entirely on open source software has slashed its server requirements by a factor of almost 50, despite a government deal mandating the use of Microsoft software in all schools. Full Story

I know of no Georgia law mandating the use of designer software and/or open source software in classrooms. Only the State of Indiana has mandated that schools use Linux and open source software in classrooms. Servers and thin-clients for classrooms are supplied by the Indiana's Department of Education.
