Avid's per seat cost to schools is the same as to a student - $295. However, the student gets 4 years of free upgrades, schools don't (but schools can buy a support contract). When I was teaching we bought 10 new licenses of Media Composer and 10 upgrades and the reseller gave us a bulk discount. I think it was 10% off, which was nice.
It's a lot cheaper than Adobe, and about the same as FCPX.

And, they need to relate that as long as kids are learning an editing program, they should be learning one that could translate into a trade. And right now, Avid MC is the professionally chosen tool when compared to Premiere.
