§  755.  Loan of smart schools classroom technology. 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,  smart  schools  classroom  technology   acquired
  pursuant  to subdivision sixteen of section thirty-six hundred forty-one
  of this chapter which is designated for use in any public elementary  or
  secondary schools of the state or is approved by any school authorities.
  Such  smart  schools  classroom  technology  made available to nonpublic
  students shall be limited to that allowable under both  paragraph  seven
  of  subdivision  sixteen of section thirty-six hundred forty-one of this
  chapter and section seven hundred fifty-four of this article. Such smart
  schools classroom technology is to be  loaned  free  to  such  children,
  commencing  with  the two thousand fourteen--two thousand fifteen 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  smart schools
  classroom technology in excess of the smart schools classroom technology
  acquired by such district pursuant to  subdivision  sixteen  of  section
  thirty-six  hundred  forty-one  of  this  chapter.  Such  smart  schools
  classroom technology 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, classroom technology purchased with  local  or
  federal  funds or with state funds other than funds apportioned pursuant
  to subdivision sixteen of  section  three  hundred  sixty-four  of  this
  chapter,  and  provided  further  that no school district may loan smart
  schools classroom technology in an aggregate  amount  greater  than  two
  hundred  fifty  dollars multiplied by the nonpublic school enrollment in
  the base year, at time of enactment, as defined in subparagraph three of
  paragraph n of subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred two of this
  chapter. 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 smart schools classroom
  technology must be received by the district. Notice of such  date  shall
  be  given  to all non-public schools in the school district. For the two
  thousand fourteen--two thousand fifteen school year, such date shall not
  be earlier than the first day of January of such school  year,  and  for
  the   two   thousand  fifteen--two  thousand  sixteen  school  year  and
  thereafter, such date shall not be earlier than the first day of June of
  the school year prior to that for which  such  smart  schools  classroom
  technology  is  being  requested,  provided,  however,  that a parent or
  guardian of a child not attending a particular non-public  school  prior
  to  January  first  or June first of the school year, as applicable, may
  submit a written request for smart schools classroom  technology  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.
