[wp-edu] Wordpress vs Wordpress MU for a school website?

[Velda]

Hi all, or whoever might be signed up so far at least....  Is anyone 
else in here using WordPress for an elementary school website? 

I need to get my kids' school site off Joomla, and I'm debating whether 
I need to go with WordPress MU so different departments can manage their 
own stuff.  I'd definitely envisioned using multiple blogs with sub 
categories to achieve different content management functions.  The 
'hundreds of thousands' of blogs bit sounds like MU would be overkill... 
as we need no more than 10 here.  But I'm curious as to how that works.

If anyone's got this going for their school, would you mind sharing your 
url and your experience?

I'm still somewhat new to WordPress, so pardon my ignorance... I'm 
hoping I'll catch up quickly :o)  Thank you, and thanks to automattic 
for making this list, too.
