To the extent that money has been appropriated to replace functionally obsolete computers and network devices in public schools, including charter schools, on a five-year cycle, the bureau shall base allocations on a ratio of one computer to three students in each school. Prior to making allocations, the bureau shall compile and maintain an inventory of computer and network devices in public schools, including charter schools, and develop a methodology for prioritizing the replacement of computers and network devices to ensure that state money is expended in the most prudent manner possible consistent with the original purpose.
