I'm a school district construction manager, and often am faced with a situation like this (and yes, no money, and it's only going to get worse). Gophers are a big problem, looks like if you could develop a meat gopher you could feed the world. Unless they are controlled they will shred any planting you do (the district might have an IPM guy on staff). The district also doesn't do well with anything except flat grass you can mow with a tractor; planting beds get weedy and shrubs die off or get trampeled. It's too big for any rubbel mural (which also will be window ammunition). You're better off spending that time and energy doing a fundraiser to install irrigation and bermuda grass. Do not plan on volunteers for maintenance, people lose interest and it falls back on the district, so they need to have buy-in.

Why don't you try some kind of ground cover? There are so many to choose from like creeping thyme or some sort of low growing sedum. I have a ground cover sedum that my husband "snowblowed" this winter and when spring came, more than half the plant was gone but sure enough, it's growing back. I can't remember the name but I will try to look it up. It blooms yellow flowers in June and July. Garnet
