754 - Loan of Instructional Computer Hardware.

§  754.  Loan  of  instructional  computer hardware. 1. In the several
  cities and school districts of the state, school authorities, as defined
  in subdivision twelve of section two of this  chapter,  shall  have  the
  power  and  duty,  to the extent provided in this section, to loan, upon
  request of an individual or a group of individual pupils, to all  pupils
  legally  attending  nonpublic elementary or secondary schools located in
  the school district, instructional computer hardware which is designated
  for use in any public elementary or secondary schools of the state or is
  approved by any school authorities. Such instructional computer hardware
  is to be loaned free to such children, commencing with the two  thousand
  seven--two  thousand  eight  school  year,  subject  to  such  rules and
  regulations as are or may be prescribed by the board of regents and such
  school authorities.
2. No school district shall be required to loan instructional computer
  hardware in excess of the instructional computer  hardware  acquired  by
  such  district  pursuant  to  section  seven hundred fifty-three of this
  article. Such instructional computer hardware  shall  be  loaned  on  an
  equitable  basis to children attending nonpublic schools in the district
  in the current year, provided that nothing  in  this  article  shall  be
  construed  to  require  a  school district to loan to children attending
  nonpublic schools, pursuant  to  this  section,  instructional  computer
  hardware purchased with local or federal funds or with state funds other
  than  funds apportioned pursuant to this article. The payment of tuition
  under article eighty-nine of this chapter is deemed to be  an  equitable
  loan  to  children  for whom such tuition is paid, and the provisions of
  this section shall not apply.
3. School authorities shall adopt regulations specifying the  date  by
  which  requests  for  the  purchase  and  loan of instructional computer
  hardware must be received by the district. Notice of such date shall  be
  given  to all non-public schools in the school district. Such date shall
  not be earlier than the first day of June of the school  year  prior  to
  that  for which such instructional computer hardware is being requested,
  provided, however, that a parent or guardian of a child not attending  a
  particular  non-public school prior to June first of the school year may
  submit a written request  for  instructional  computer  hardware  within
  thirty  days  after such child is enrolled in such non-public school. In
  no event, however, shall a request made later than the  times  otherwise
  provided  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  be  denied where a reasonable
  explanation is given for the delay in making the request.
