Starting to look like there's no way to do this for less than $200. Yeah, maybe I'll check with the schools, the only problem is I don't know how to design this, I just want to see what I can scrape together out of what's available and see what I can make useful by playing around and trial and error.
 The lighting frame weighs around 30lbs with the lights on it so maybe a curtain track idea is more feasible instead of something that needs to support up to 500lbs..

That looks like it would work awesome! Thanks!
(... what's a bypass door? Is this something standard? I just hate asking for stuff I don't really know about because usually it gets met with blank stares. It was bad enough calling around asking for barn door hanger hardware! It usually went something like this: Clerk: Can I help you find something Tony: I'm looking for barn door hanger hardware? Clerk: What do you want that for? What kind? Tony: Uh, I was kinda hoping you wouldn't ask that, it's for an aquarium.. Clerk: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff <sound of brain shutting off> Tony: uh hello? ... and so on...)

They're mainly used for closets; You have two doors that can slide past one another. Rona and Home Depot will have kits in stock.
