I am the technology director for a K-8 school district in the northern suburbs of the Chicago, Illinois area. I am about to deploy 15 iPads for use in the school in a mobile cart. Trying to find the best practices in deployment of multiple ipads. Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at the post below. Though the post is directed at business users, I suspect the same advice applies to educational institutions or Apple will direct you to the appropriate source for support. Let us know how it goes.
