Our local Ford dealer would do a lease on a new car for our school district program each year in the little Kansas town where I grew up. He likely wrote that off with the district paying the insurance. It was good advertising for them anyway. It was usually one of the coaches that had to instruct the students. We never had a crash that I'm aware of. Most farm kids already knew how to drive but it was a formal requirement at the time.

Those times have been gone for decades now. After the owners of the dealership died or retired, the Ford dealer was closed. So much for progress.
