This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 17:87.6(C)(1) and enacts new subsections R.S. 17:87.6(C)(6) and (7) to provide local public school boards in Louisiana with the authority to sell, trade, or participate in buyback programs for individual computing devices used by students. This change allows school boards to manage the alienation of these devices more flexibly, notwithstanding any conflicting laws.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that revenue generated from the sale of these devices can be used for acquiring, maintaining, or improving technology resources within the school or school district. It also mandates that prior to the alienation of any device, school boards must securely erase all sensitive data, ensuring compliance with data security policies set by the state Department of Education and relevant regulations.
