Church 3.0 . . . School 3.0?

I recently read Church 3.0 by Neil Cole, looking for insight and thought to apply to Christian schools.  The author's major premise is that the downfall of the "church" is the three "B's" - buildings, budgets, and "big shots" - and then advocates for a church model that avoids the pitfalls of those three.  Interesting concept to translate over to schools - can we do Christian education without such a heavy focus on buildings, programs, and institution?  I'm not sure that the consumer is ready for that yet . . .
