Adding Level for non-repeated measurements

I think this is more a slightly-harder-than-elementary stats question rather than a "technical" query. If this was some types of 
GLMM, then the answer to 1 would be yes eg poisson GLMM then an individual-specific random effect adds in one type of 
extra-poisson variation. This is not the case for the gaussian (hopefully you see why). As to 2, consider how the *variance* of your 
measurement could be different within each school.
