The program in question is called, I believe, 'Apple for the Teacher'.
You need to contact a dealer, preferably one used to dealing with schools
and inquire about it.  Basically, you get a selection of packaged Apple ][
and Mac systems (example: ][GS 512K, 1 each 3.5" & 5.25" drives, RGB monitor)
at roughly 40% off retail.  You can also get an Imagewriter as part of the
deal.  You can only use this once, and your school has to provide some
note on school letterhead saying you really are a teacher/principal/etc.
The dealer's role is strictly to provide a drop point for Apple to ship
to; the order form with payment goes directly to the Apple regional 
center (Charlotte NC for the east, I think; ours went there).  We bought
a GS package last summer through this program shortly after it began, and
the turnaround was roughly 3 weeks.

Hope this helps.
