Whoops...
Let me rephrase that first statement. Yes, you will probably need a CAL
for each access that is made.

Per this M$ article, I am going to go with yes, you need the CALs:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;244749
This last sentence of this statement in particular seems to fit your
scenario...
"Windows 2000 Terminal Services Client Access License: This license
provides each client computer or Windows-based terminal the legal right
to access Terminal Services on a Windows 2000-based server. For example,
you must have this license to start a terminal session and run
Windows-based programs on the server. All non-Windows 2000-based clients
must have this type of license."
Of course I am basing this off you using Terminal Services from Windows
2000 Server. Windows NT 4 TS and Server 2003 may be different, but
being M$ it's a good bet the licensing requirements will be similar.

Help me on my thinking here. If I needed to allow my users access to a
Windows environment, I could use Microsoft Terminal Services and
rdesktop, right? Now, since all of my users would be connecting through
a single machine (the K12LTSP server), does that mean I would only need
to buy one Client Access License? Then I could give all my users access
to that "killer app." which only runs on Windows in a thin-client
environment at very little cost. Is that right, or am I all wet?
