N.Y. Education Law § 752: Loan of computer software

§ 752. Loan of computer software. 1. In the several cities and school

districts of the state, boards of education, trustees or such body or

officers as perform the function of such boards shall have the power and

duty to loan upon request of an individual or a group of individual

pupils, to all pupils defined in subdivision three of section seven

hundred fifty-one of this article, software programs. Software programs

loaned to such pupils attending private schools shall be software

programs which are designated for use in any public elementary or

secondary schools of the state or are approved by any board of

education, trustees or other school authorities. Such software programs

are to be loaned free to such children subject to such rules and

regulations as are or may be prescribed by the board of regents and such

boards of education, trustees or other school authorities.

2. No school district shall be required to loan software programs in

excess of the software programs owned or acquired by such district

pursuant to section seven hundred fifty-one of this article. Such

software programs shall be loaned on an equitable basis to children

defined in subdivision three of section seven hundred fifty-one of this

article attending in the current year. 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.
