I have to replace about 40 Windows XP desktops in a charter school with almost no technology budget. I updated two of the desktops to different versions of Linux Mint to see if they were similar enough to Windows that the teachers and students could use them.

Would Edubuntu be a better option, or is there another flavor of Ubuntu that would be an easy transition from Windows?

Don't change your distribution just because you want another desktop environment. You can simply install Xfce and Co. on top of Ubuntu and then get to choose before the login automatically. I never got the point of Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu whatever. Stay with Ubuntu LTS as it's well supported.
