Statute overview

About this statute

The article sets up a textbook-loan system: schools own the books and lend them to students for free, students must return them after the school year, and the Regional Government of La Rioja must fund purchases and replacements under the law’s conditions. This article defines textbook and curricular material, and sets content and usability rules for printed and digital textbooks. Los centros docentes choose the textbooks; the education authority must publish a catalogue; selected editions cannot be replaced for at least four school years except in justified exceptional cases; and schools may extend the life of textbooks in good condition. Los centros deben gestionar y conservar los libros del sistema de préstamo, y el alumnado adherido debe usarlos responsablemente y devolverlos en buen estado. El sistema de préstamo de libros de texto y material curricular es voluntario, pero quienes quieran participar deben manifestarlo expresamente en la forma y plazo que se establezcan reglamentariamente.
