I finally realized that my question answered itself really, but i wanted to give you points Brian cause you at least gave a response. Thanks for your time
To be formal, I implemented
...DFS ...Intellimirror...users from one OU/Classroom only seek out their own local server that is in their room Since i set this to their logon server and primary dns it works pretty good that way.
DFS/FRS - Also, there is the need to have the data available on a day to day basis on both servers. In the event that one server is down the other can compensate.
Not going to implement sites, (against school policy currently to split two subjects apart)
On to the next classroom project, ugh.
Thanks Peter for helping me reduce points, thanks BrianKronberg for providing an answer.

Set them up as separate sites in Active Directory. Then use DFS to map your drives (\\domain.local\share) and DFS will map to the server in your site.
Alternately, you can reflectively name the workstations and check the computer name in your login script and map to the appropriate server. As for replication, you can use scheduled tasks to call the ROBOCOPY tool (part of the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit) to mirror files and their permissions across servers.
