We have been using long range wireless gear from Alvarion to connect multiple school buildings for a number of years (they were BreezeCom) with spectacularly good results. Range of up to 15 miles without any special requirements. Security can be an issue if you want it to be. We currently provide LAN services and internet connectivity for over 75 PCs in this manner. Look into it!

If your campus is within 2 mile radius and you have Off Premise Extensions (OPX), why not utilize ADSL/SDSL, such as Megabit Modems to piggy back over the OPX? Megabit Modems are made by ADC, www.adc.com. Low cost solution as opposed to running expensive fiber.
