One of the overrides in the CMF catalog tool (and inherited in the Plone version, AFAIK) is filtering out content which the user wouldn't be permitted to view if she did find it. Are you sure that your School object is in an appropriate workflow state for the user to find?
D'oh! That sounds entirely plausible. I should have thought of that. Trying it now. Yes, that's it. :)
You should be able to look at the content of the catalog (on its "Catalog" tab) and find your School object. Look at the content of the 'allowedRolesAndUsers' index for that object: does it say something like '("Manager",)"?
Yes, Manager and some other roles. I published the item and now Anonymous is in that list. And that makes my PAS plugin work. Phew!
