Since as recently as during the COVID-19 pandemic, schools have been providing technology (i.e. Chromebooks and other devices) to help students access their education.
Technology continues to be provided to students even while students attend classes in-person including for some elementary school students. Today technology in school continues to be integral or essential to a student’s ability to learn.
When school districts charge fines or fees that act as barriers to students accessing their education, such as preventing a student’s registration or enrollment in school or a student’s graduation from school, these could be found to be unconstitutional (or unlawful).
