Yes, what you want to do is to have a separate project for every department,
and sign every project with its' own editor group and project manager group.
We have done couple of small school implementations as well and this is
exactly how we have set them up.

We currently use OpenCms user management for this. However I also have more
and more clients asking after LDAP integration, so would be useful if the
opencms community could kick off a project on this (especially since I read
from this list couple of weeks ago that Alkacon do have LDAP connector for
OpenCms, but they are likely not going to release it as open source)...
