Policy

Ohio Revised Code § 3329.06 provides that “The board … shall furnish, free of charge, the necessary textbooks to the pupils attending the public schools. In lieu of textbooks, district boards may furnish **electronic textbooks** to pupils attending the public schools, provided the electronic textbooks are furnished free of charge. A district board that chooses to furnish electronic textbooks to pupils attending school in the district shall provide reasonable access to the electronic textbooks and other necessary computer equipment to pupils in the district who are required to complete homework assignments, and teachers providing homework assignments, utilizing electronic textbooks furnished by the district board… All textbooks or electronic textbooks furnished as provided in this section shall be the property of the district, and loaned to the pupils on such terms as the Board prescribes.” Also, other districts have been doing this (i.e. Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District) so it might be worthwhile to call them and see how they do it.
