Expression for manipulate controls

I am trying to generate a set of Manipulate controls based on the
contents of some lists.  For example, say I have lists:
school = {"rynj", "bpy", "moriah", "yavneh", "noam"}
schoolName = {"RYNJ", "BPY", "Moriah", "Yavneh", "Noam"}

Then, I'd like my Manipulate controls to be:
In[508]:= Table[{{ToExpression[
    StringJoin[ToLowerCase[schoolsC[[n]]], "Q"]],
   schools[[n]]}, {ToExpression[ToLowerCase[schoolsC[[n]]]] -> True,
   Null -> False}}, {n, 1, Length[schools]}]

Out[508]= {{{rynjQ, "RYNJ"}, {rynj -> True, Null -> False}}, {{bpyQ,
   "BPY"}, {bpy -> True, Null -> False}}, {{moriahQ,
   "Moriah"}, {moriah -> True, Null -> False}}, {{yavnehQ,
   "Yavneh"}, {yavneh -> True, Null -> False}}, {{noamQ,
   "Noam"}, {noam -> True, Null -> False}}}

But without that outer { }, since Manipulate controls need to be ,
{control1},{control2},etc, not, {{control1},{control2},etc}.

Any ideas how to do this?
TIA
