Our division moved to the new Notebook and have always stayed current. It suck to hear about your document cameras. Thats a lot of money invested lost. We only ever had a few SMART Doc cams ever and we never fully adopted them because of their cost. We started using iPevo Document cameras years ago and are currently using this model:

They work very well in a windows environment and theres even ways to use SMART Ink with them as well. And they don't cost an arm and a leg either.
If you want this post to get through the spam filter you need to repost using the shorter version of that URL, ie: https://www.amazon.com/IPEVO-Definition-Document-Camera-5-880-4-01-00/dp/B079DLTG9F
I know you want a solution that keeps the hardware you're familiar with but a ten year old scanner is invariably going to need to be replaced in the near future anyway so please bear with me for a moment and I promise my solution is not only very simple to set up but you can do so very cheaply or even virtually free...
To start, there are other much more reasonably priced document scanners/projectors for well under $1000 (for example this one for $450, this one for $200, and this one for $100 ...and those all just came from the "customers who viewed the DC260 also viewed this product" section...)
Honestly though, if it were me/my class I would just use an old smartphone or small tablet mounted on one of those bendy tripods.
My mom is also a teacher and the first time I read about a grading app (like this one) almost 10 years ago I set up a similar scanning/projector setup for her with my old smartphone. There are tons of similar apps that will function as a photo scanner and "grader" and it's very straightforward to connect the output to a display/projector.

If you can get your hands on pretty much any kind of used Android smart phone or a tablet from within the last 5 or so years you can get set up with what you need for less than $100.
If you don't have the necessary skills to set it up yourself and neither do any friends/coworkers/students/etc... let me know and I'll help you with more details. You really don't need to spend much if anything depending on the route you want to go.
edit: You could use your current phone first just to see if you like the idea and only then commit to finding and setting up a used one as a permanent scanner/overhead...
