you could use DRUSH to mitigate addtl maintenance overhead when performing updates etc.

Thank you for your response.
That is a possibility I thought about but I was concerned with maintenance.  I would like to avoid double installation if possible.

What operating system/web server?

With Linux/Apache:

I usually create subdomains in dns (i.e. school1.mysite.com, school2.mysite.com).  Then I create virtual hosts in Apache.  Point the old domain into your existing folder and the new domain into a new folder where you will install Drupal again.

Up until this semester, I needed this student portal site for one school only.  Now I need another portal for different school.

Before:
http://mysite.com

Change needed to
Login page >
       http://mysite.com/school1
       http://mysite.com/school2

They don't need to share anything but the server space and the domain name.  What would be the best practice for this situation?  While school2 is still blank, I have too many things under school1 including menus.  It won't be practical to modify them one by one, and seeking for a better solution.
