With OS X Server 10.3 you can keep your users in Active Directory while
still managing them for your OS X clients. Look at the documents on
Apple's website:
http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/

I think it's discussed in the User Management document.

BTW, for everyone else in K-12, take a look at the Deploy Mac OS X
Computer for K-12 Education. Although very OS X centric, it has some good
ideas on providing computer services to your students.
