Hi All,
Below are some points need to be consider before the initiate Migration.
Points Details Remarks OS Flavour Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Recommended system requirements:
2 GHz dual core processor or better 2 GB system memory 25 GB of free hard drive space Architecture 32 bit or 64 bit ? Additional Required Packages ?? Builtin Packages--Browser --- Chromium, Firefox Mail Client --- Thunderbird Office tools --- LibreOffice Media Player --- VLC player Image editor --- Gimp Any Server Services Required ?? Example:- Samba server, FTP server
Add in case i missed anything.
See if erpnext.com's school erp solution might not be a good idea to implement.
A server with multiple thin clients might be a better idea to implement for ease of providing maintenance services every year.

Thin clients were considered. Running a high-end server is not an option. Neither do they have the infrastructure nor the expertise to keep the big box running. And, setting up something like that would require a lot of investment.
Which St. Mary's School is this?

Ubuntu 16.04 ships with Unity. Canonical is abandoning unity in favour of GNOME. In the next LTS, Ubuntu will ship with vanilla GNOME. I strongly suggest that we dont put users through this shock. Lets introduce them to vanilla GNOME from the start.
I would also suggest that we consider Debian. Debian is far more mature and stable.
What about the school syllabus for computer classes, are they going to teach students FOSS applications or this migration is only for the school administration?

They are going to teach students FOSS applications.
As per the latest Board Circular, Schools are free to teach alternative free software. No direct questions will be asked on proprietary softwares.
Depending on our experience in migration of labs, we can decide whether to go for office migration or only keep focus on Labs.

I agree, you might also want to consider K.D.E plasma as it is close to windows paradigm, will make the transition easy. But this is just my opinion.
I would also suggest that we consider Debian. Debian is far more mature and stable.
I agree with this too, I had only one concern though, we need to check if the newer machines are supported in Debian Stretch (or jessy?) In the last meeting, I noticed that Principal Jude's new machine had skylake processor and linux mint 17.3 was installed on it. Mint 17.3 being based upon Ubuntu LTS 14.04(which is from 2014) it lacks skylake support (As far as I know) So his audio was not working, We need to check if 'stretch' has a considerable newer kernel with support for recent hardware that the school is procuring.
Also I feel 2 gb ram mentioned in earlier email is a bit on the lower end.
Please do keep in mind that anything we suggest will be perceived as linux experience, and if anything doesn't work or becomes a hassle for them, it will be a bad case for linux from their point of view. As they say first impression always matters, So please suggest specifications carefully.
Thank you

I've never used KDE. So, I cannot give an opinion on this.

I dont think the kernel in Jessie has skylake support. We can decide between Jessie and Stretch based on the hardware the school has. Stretch is not stable yet. So, I'd prefer we stick to Jessie.
