The students need to be responsible for properly cleaning and maintaining the instrument in districts where the band director is not primarily a flutist this can easily get overlooked. This can make learning the flute frustrating for a beginner. The district may hold on to worn out instruments due to lack of funding – these instruments are usually given out as a last resort if all the loaner stock is in rotation. I started with a KING flute, over the summer, and ended up with a Yamaha 221 by the time my sophomore year started. I played the same flutes in both marching band and concert band so durability was very important. My sophomore and junior years of high school were spent playing silver-plated, factory produced flutes. This is went I was exploring temporary flute options. When I was 15 years old, I decided to join marching band to do so required learning flute over the summer. Here’s how I got from that 20 year flute to today… Now I’m playing a Weissman Haynes that I trialed from the Flute Center of New York. When I was first starting out as a high school sophomore I was given an unused and unserviced 20 year flute promptly switching to borrowing a Yamaha from a friend in high school who had stopped playing. With hindsight informing things I wish I knew as a young student. For each flute I mention, (whether or not it’s still in production) I’ll provide the pros and cons of that experience. 
The factors that go into making that large purchase are vast – budget, stock, knowledge, trialing, repairs, etc.
