Tom, thanks for this citation. I'll pass it along to the school.

IANAL,  but it seems to me that the section you quote of 90.427 wouldn't 
apply. The school is (hopefully) licensed to use the frequency; they're 
already using it with the Motorola radios. Jim's point was that the 
Baofeng radios aren't certified by the FCC to use that frequency, if I 
understand correctly.

Regardless, I'm grateful to all the folks who created and maintain 
CHIRP; it allowed me to do a task that I wouldn't have been able to do 
otherwise.
