Schools of the 21st Century is Architectural Record's contribution. Since it's through McGraw-Hill, a lot of this is product profiles, similar to what is in the Sweets Catalog. The forums usually have some good discussions and interesting topics. The case studies are very wide ranging and offer some good ideas.
The USGBC's site Build Green Schools helps promote the new LEED certification track for Educational Buildings, but does contain a lot of resources targeted at specific groups. There are several PowerPoint presentations and PDF's available for free download.
Both of these sites are really focused on the building and being "green." As we've discussed previously, this is really only one of many components to being "sustainable." However, the LEED system does encourage things like alternative transportation and having a multi-use facility. So, I think it is a step in the right direction.
