1. Schools can get them through their usual suppliers of educational
   material, with a pretty decent discount, and with educational
   courses and materials, pretty much ready to go.

2. Most "maker-space" atuned electronics pushers carry them.

3. Big electronics pushers carry them.

In re 1-3: No customs processing of shipment involved.

4. Cost, including shipping is below "trivial" threshold in most
   organizations.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
