The board in each school district upon the request of a pupil, or the parent of any pupil, shall sell to such individual making the request textbooks or electronic textbooks of the kind requested at a price not to exceed the cost paid therefor plus ten per cent. The proceeds of such sales shall be credited to the fund from which payments are made by the board for the purchase of textbooks or electronic textbooks. As used in this paragraph, the word "pupil" includes any school-aged child who resides in the district.
