This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 17:87.6(C)(1) and enacts 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 that have been 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 the acquisition, maintenance, or improvement of 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 student, employee, and school data in accordance with established data security policies and applicable regulations.
