On a personal note, I despise this type of filtering and think it is obnoxious. It works by flooding rogue APs with de-auth packets and just creates more RF noise for no good reason. It also seldom works on hotspots because they are within 1-2 ft of the computer using them and the de-auths just cause the connection to slow and not drop out.
Something to ask your school's network/IT people about and a possible path for troubleshooting.
EDIT: We've also worked around it with 5ghz APs from Ubiquiti but that's another story...
