Okay, here's how we solved this.

We had the school purchase a wireless booster and external antenna  
from MacWireless:

airport_boosters.php

The booster is powered by a tiny wall transformer. Putting a simple  
switch:

on the transformer does exactly what they need. When switched on,  
everything works as normal. When switch off, the student systems  
receive no signal, while the instructor's system keeps on truckin.
