That's a heck of a list of requirements. Wondering if you've looked at New Schoolyard, it's a Drupal Distribution for school websites - http://schoolyard.com/

You might also be interested to read this post: Creating Public Facing Program Sites with Open Atrium. Here's a quote from the post:

Public-facing sites on Open Atrium can utilize Atrium’s group features to engage community members and project participants in discussion. Open Atrium can be customized to meet an organization’s community engagement needs by leveraging its base set of features and adding new features as required to meet the specific needs of your internal groups. Beyond creating one public-facing site, organizations large and small struggle with the question of how to create, manage, and maintain multiple program specific sub-sites in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Most of the time, the need for building program sub-sites are not one-off requests, so creating a single site for every instance becomes too cumbersome and time intensive, and can adversely affect organizational branding.

The real savings (time and costs) to an organization are realized when the flexible and extensible Open Atrium distribution is built into a platform using a management tool like Aegir for rapid deployment of new sites. Although not commonly used in this fashion, we think this is an amazing adaptation of Open Atrium and are currently implementing this approach on our community engagement sites for OpenPublic and OpenPublish.

This is the first time I've read about this, so I don't know any details though.

Best, Marilyn
