Nextcloud is a very solid cloud solution which doesn’t suffer from those data leaks. https://nextcloud.com/
You do not have to sell the chromebooks, you can replace the OS with fedora. You can customize your OS acording to your needs with ublue https://universal-blue.org/
I applaud your optimism that there are enough people employed in the school IT to do that properly.
Don’t get me wrong, you are absolutely right with those statements, but the schools used Chromebooks for a reason I would think, the same reason that if they had not used Chromebooks it would be some Windows installation.

I am very curious what they are going to replace this with and I am unfortunately 100% sure it is going to be Windows and the Onedrive/Outlook ecosystem.
