Nothing in KRS § 157.611, 157.615, 157.650 to
157.665, or 160.160 shall be construed as limiting a local school district’s legal options to acquire education technology equipment and related software with state dollars if the equipment and software is approved under the master technology plan.

Terms Used In Kentucky Statutes 157.650

  • branch budget: means an enactment by the General Assembly which provides appropriations and establishes fiscal policies and conditions for the biennial financial plan for the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, which shall include a separate budget bill for the Transportation Cabinet. See Kentucky Statutes 446.010
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
  • State: when applied to a part of the United States, includes territories, outlying possessions, and the District of Columbia. See Kentucky Statutes 446.010

(2) The School Facilities Construction Commission is empowered to assist requesting local boards of education to issue bonds or to enter into lease agreements, or both, to finance the purchase or lease of technological equipment and related software or major renovation of existing school facilities to allow the use of educational technology.
