Well, here's a clumsy idea that gets the job done. Do an outer join (don't know the exact syntax for MySQL) that gets you two columns in each row: email address from classroom_access_list and email address from classroom_access_list. In your output, you just say if column 1 is blank, use column 2, otherwise, use column 1. The values will be deduped by virtue of the fact that equal values will collapse into a single row.
