Not sure about the US, but Open Source in education here in the UK is getting a higher and higher political profile. Some of this is down to Moodle. Moodle introduces teachers to Open Source so targeting Moodle users with OOo would be likely to get some traction. Maybe someone could find out about Moodle take up in US schools and use this as an in to spread Open Source wider.
