Something is different about your config file. Can you attach
a copy of this file to your reply?

Excluding the comments, this is what it should contain:

 	web 7080
 	pid-file /var/run/schooltool/schooltool.pid
 	error-log-file /var/log/schooltool/schooltool.log
 	error-log-file STDERR
 	rest-access-log-file /var/log/schooltool/rest-access.log
 	web-access-log-file /var/log/schooltool/web-access.log
 	<zodb>
 	  <filestorage>
 	    path /var/lib/schooltool/Data.fs
 	  </filestorage>
 	</zodb>
 	reportlab_fontdir /etc/schooltool/fonts/

Looks like you missed the "su -s " at the beginning of the command.
It should be:

    # su -s /bin/bash schooltool -c "/usr/bin/schooltool --config=/etc/schooltool/schooltool.conf"
