I can't remember which one, but when I looked at these
some years back at least one of them *was* definitely a
transparent proxy solution that would work for you.  The
only reason we didn't buy it was because they charged
by customer base (around 1500 at the time) rather than
by active users (6).  I would imagine that after all
these years, more than one of the companies offers an
enterprise-style solution rather than a desktop one.

Hopefully we have some k12 schools here that someone
can advise on specifics.  Failing that you might try
asking on an ISP group. Does TN have an ISP association
like we do in Texas?
