I've been following this discussion on the security of the mouse tool and I
have solved that problem in the HS in which I teach.  I had the same challenge
made to me from the computer teacher (I'm a music teacher).

I simply had the wood shop teacher construct twenty or so wooden boxes about
6x4x5-inches, a hinged lid, a hasp lock and padlock, an eye-hook (for hanging
it off the work area, behind the computer itself), and a slit on one end about
3/8's of an inch for the mouse chord.

The teacher issues a key to the student/s who needs access.  The mouse is
"outta sight - outta mind" and all are happy.  No dirt, no ball-less mice!
