The legal term for putting a ceiling under this would be an "enclosure"; and yes, it is a good option. Please remember that asbestos is only a hazard when it is broken or creating dust. So if you are going to put a ceiling under it, you need to figure out how to attach the new ceiling without damaging the asbestos ceiling.

Just because you have asbestos ceiling tiles does not mean your children are in danger. Only if the tile becomes damaged do you HAVE to do something about it. In my business as an asbestos inspector I see hundreds of school buildings every year and scores of them have asbestos ceiling tiles. We don't insist that all asbestos tiles be taken out; only that it be kept in good condition.
