The easiest way?  Do what I do in my lab.....make etherboot floppies for
each machine...when you want K12LTSP....boot from the
floppy...otherwise...pop it out and use Win XP on the local HD.  Haven't
had a stolen floppy in over a year.  We use K12LTSP 75% of the day so the
discs stay in almost all day.  Nonetheless....truthfully...no one uses
floppies anymore so the motive to steal them is gone.  Most of our kids
simply save to the server, email, or USB thumb drives.
