I tried OSSIM once and found it hard to configure, I couldn't make it work just 
I expected.

What you should really do is to implement an IDS/IPS security layer and just as 
you said, it's always good to compartamentalize your network with firewalls.

You should beware of the notebooks coming in and out all the time, it's 
possible they may get a virus when they're and bring them in to school. For 
that you should think about having samething like NAC (Mcafee and Cisco do a 
good work on this). Hopefully there should also be an Antivirus use policy.

About the Wifi Network it depends on your policies. But you should think about 
putting firewalls between the Wifi Network, the LAN and Production Servers.

Well... that's for a start.
