I would like to pilot Xubuntu in a school computer lab environment. The solution requires shared access devices that are independent of the school's Windows environment. I would like to collect data comparing the usage of this lab compared to traditional Windows labs. Is there a script or command that can run on start up that will just keep a tally of how many times the machine is turned on?

I am not getting the clear idea about your script but who ever login into that system will have their log with their username in /var/log/auth.log
you can view the log by
sudo cat /var/log/auth.log
So if you want to track their login/starting , make a backup command and run it before they logout/shutdown of your system.
