Does any kind of electronic hardware necessary for running technology-based materials qualify as a component of technology-based materials?
Education Code Section 60010(m)(2) addresses this question as follows: “Technology-based materials do not include the electronic equipment required to make use of those materials, unless that equipment is to be used by pupils and teachers as a learning resource. However, this shall not be construed to authorize a school district to replace computers or related equipment in an existing computer lab or allow a school district to establish a new computer lab.
