for an outright purchase of any item and also its total cost for the
entire specified term of the contract.



17452.  The term of any lease or lease-purchase agreement shall not
exceed the estimated useful life of the item but in no event shall
the term exceed 10 years. A lease, but not a lease-purchase
agreement, may be renewable at the option of the lessee and the
lessor, jointly, at the end of each term at a rate not more than 12
percent annually above the rate set pursuant to the existing
agreement. In no event shall the combined period of the original
lease and renewals or extensions exceed 10 years. Any contract for
the lease or lease-purchase of equipment or service systems which was

such terms are hereby ratified.



17453.  As a lessor, a school district governing board is authorized

extending to the end of the expected nonuse of the land, buildings,
or equipment and under any conditions it deems reasonable. All of
these leases and leases with options to purchase to nonpublic

to parents of pupils within the school district, for the purpose of
providing access to the school district's educational computer
network, at a standard price, not to exceed the cost incurred by the
school district in purchasing the Internet appliance or personal
computer. A school district that elects to sell or lease Internet
appliances or personal computers, as authorized by this section,
shall provide access to the school district's educational network for
those families that cannot afford access to the school district's
educational network. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in
conducting a sale or lease pursuant to this section a school district
shall not be required to call for bids or to sell or lease Internet
appliances or personal computers to the highest bidder. For purposes
of this section, an "Internet appliance" is a technological product
that allows a person to connect to, or access, an online educational
network.
   (b) The Legislature finds and declares that the Internet
appliances or personal computers that are sold or leased pursuant to
this section are not an essential part of the school district's
educational program, but are supplemental to that program.
