If a school district purchases an Assistive Technology Device (ATD) for a student with a disability and that student moves to a new school or district or is graduating, the district may be willing to transfer the ATD if it is not needed by another student in the district. Transfer means that the district may sell, lease, or loan the ATD to the receiving school or school district, to a state agency, to the parents of the student, or to the student if the student has the legal capacity to enter into a contract.
Transfer of ATD is governed by Texas Education Code §30.0015. and the Texas Administrative Code §89.1056.. For more information regarding the Transfer of Assistive Technology Devices and the Uniform Transfer Agreement Form click on the following link:
