This might be a great proposal (a VAX Emulation system) for someone to

Certainly the cost to replace the system could be horrendous, and school
boards rarely have a lot of spare cash...can someone push VAX into the
21st century and beyond?

The Seattle Times is running an article about how
the Seattle School
District is still using a VAX to do school assignments.

"To keep tweaking the VAXes, district staff warned last week, is
risky and a waste of time. To replace them, however, likely comes
with a cost that made School Board members cringe: a delay of about a
year in putting the new assignment plan into action."
Surely, emulation is an option...and probably cost-effective.
