Sec. 5. (a) A governing body in operating a curricular materials rental program under IC 20-26-5-4(a)(12) may use either of the following accounting methods:
(1) The governing body may supervise and control the program through the school corporation's curricular materials rental fund or education fund.
(2) If curricular materials have not been purchased and financial commitments or guarantees for the purchases have not been made by the school corporation, the governing body may cause the program to be operated by the individual schools of the school corporation through the school corporation's extracurricular account or accounts in accordance with IC 20-41-1.
(b) If the governing body determines that a hardship exists due to the inability of a student's family to purchase or rent curricular materials, taking into consideration the income of the family and the demands on the family, the governing body may furnish curricular materials to the student without charge, without reference to the application of any other statute or rule except IC 20-26-1 through IC 20-26-5, IC 20-26-7, IC 20-40-12, and IC 20-48-1.
