Printer Infrastructure for Large School System

You want Prusa machines, probably core ones, maybe some with INDX for really cool multi material projects. They have edu programs, the best support you are going to find on this level of device, long term support for all their machines and a robust replacement part supply chain. They also have US assembly (from printed solid, they are also moving more and more to sourcing parts in the US where they can) if you are US based and it is something you care about.

Switching from Prusa Core One L to H2S - What should I buy?

The short answer from now would be something like: if you want to be a maker and really like to get into 3d printing and have the time for this, get a prusa! If you just want to print get a bambu .. I choosed the prusa because of it's reliability, but I think the core one L isn't yet best calibrated and the printing profiles are also really basic. So you need to spend time in some cases to get good results... The bambu just prints, it's a masterpiece of technology but hopefully it doesn't break to early... If you don't really need the big building volume I would max choose the x2d?

Which 3D printers are the quietest?

The Prusa Core One is the quietest printer i own. The Prusa Core One is the quietest printer i own, there is a setting called "stealth mode" which makes this enclosed printer silent. Even without stealth mode the core one is more silent than any other printers i own which are bambulab (H and P series) and sovol. My loudest printer is the Sovol SV08MAX. If not on a budget get the Core One.
