Hey Steve,
If the iPad has been on-boarded by the school to get on the wifi or managed by an MDM (mobile device manager), then they may have accidentally or on purpose turned on geo-fencing which could be disabling the device when it is not at school?
I would check with the IT department and if they are a Catholic School, see if they have recently implemented a new Wireless solution and possibly a management platform as this could be the problem.
I sell wireless and network solutions at work and this pinged my radar when I read your issue.
Well worth checking at school first thing rather than try to recover, if it is being MDM'd it should be an easy switch. You may even find it starts to work again when in range of the school wifi??
Food for thought
Chris
