How can I deploy LrC in a school lab environment?

I am setting up a lab of 30 laptops for a high school art class. The teacher has requested Lightroom Classic, which is the only one we have with Adobe Creative Cloud licensing (shared-device licensing). I understand that this operates using a SQLite database so running on network drives is not possible. However, we do not allow our student accounts to access the local drive on devices they log into, so they aren’t able to create local catalogs.

I’ve been toying with a script to essentially run LrC out of a scratch folder in C:\ProgramData\, uploading their files to their network drive on LrC closing, and pulling those files back down into the scratch folder on LrC startup. I’m not sure this is the best way to do things, as it really can’t elegantly handle multiple catalogs and can’t account for student behaviors such as logging off before closing the program, or changing the name of their catalog.

Any advice at all for how to deploy this would be greatly appreciated. Even if the advice is going back to the teacher and telling them they need to use Bridge and Camera Raw instead. I’d just like to exhaust other options before going that route!
