Some of this is intended to be fixed with the introduction of
Cerebrum, doing this automatically based on information provided from
some pupils registry.
What about using start/end groups instead? graduates-2009 or
started-2000. This way, you only need to update the rights given to
these groups, and not their members.

Hard to do in a generic way that works across several school systems.
But it is not very hard to set up per school.

What kind of updates to the desktop do you have in mind?

Yes, would be nice. :)
NX is claimed to be a nice way to do this. ssh is of course always
available. :)
