     Could be. Schools use all kinds of setups (power strips, under-table 
switches, etc.) to route power to computers. Possibly, a switch in some 
utility room needs to be thrown to send power to the classroom's computer 
area.

     You could check the power strip or UPS (uninterruptable power 
supply) the IIe's are plugged into. Maybe a circuit breaker needs to be 
reset or a fuse needs to be replaced. To just check the machines, you 
could try plugging each computer into an AC socket which you know is 
active.
