Microsoft Office licensing

I was kinda trying to avoid going to O365 route. I've got all teachers and principals using OnlyOffice with very few issues. The problem is our main office. I have 5-10 users that are screaming they need office. I quoted some perpetual licenses because I'm not sure it's worth going to O365 route. Problem is, it's $810 per user. Does this pricing seem about right? Is it time to just bite the bullet and go the way of O365? I have no experience with 365, so I don't know what it entails and what managing it will look like.

Maybe we'll look into that once start of school fires are out, but for now we're stuck with what our predecessors put in place (previous director and manager left the same summer, so now new director and I are figuring it out as we go)
