provided.
(2)Local school districts, which do not provide a free textbook program for all students
in grades nine
(9)through twelve (12), shall establish, pursuant to Kentucky Board
of Education administrative regulations, a process whereby pupils in grades nine
through twelve
(12)may rent textbooks for a reasonable fee. Rental fees collected
by the district shall be used for the maintenance of textbooks, the purchase of new
textbooks, and the provision of free textbooks to pupils in grades nine
(9)through

to pupils unable to rent or purchase them, including a process by which those
students shall be informed of the availability of, and guidelines and procedures for,
obtaining free textbooks.

the availability of free textbooks to those pupils in grades nine

textbooks. The regulations shall also provide for exceptional circumstances, under
which pupils who do not meet free and reduced price lunch guidelines may be
provided free textbooks.
