Now In this light I can help!!!!!
I have dedalt with this little problem once by choice and a second time
as part of the "concept" I was shooting for...
If you can look at the ceiling!  If it is a "Drop Ceiling" Ie "Panels"
(Yes I can send a picture if that is not clear) If it is indeed a "Drop
Ceiling" as I suspect, (it being in a school) I have a simple suggestion
for "Wall Hangings".  Get some Ceiling hooks (Found at the local
hardware store in the "Drop Ceiling" area.)  This is the simplest
solution as the generally objection to wall hangings is putting holes in
the wall.  Now if this is not the type of ceiling that you are looking
at...
Poles held up by either flag bases or Christmas Tree Stands work well as
places to Stick tacks or nails and thus hold wall hangings.  (Supply
your own poles)
Trust me on this though... once you have made free flying wall hangings
in a place and not damaged those walls or ceilings!! the folks remember
you and how willing you were to work with them rather than trying to cut
the red tape.  This makes reusing the site ten times easier next time.
IF I can be of any assistance via email please let me know.  I pride
myself on being able to work with troublesome rules and still have a
magical hall.
