What are blue books and what's so special about them?

They're standardized lined notebooks used for handwritten essays in a test setting.

They tried digital, I guess. But I also assume they tried digital without hiring programmers and IT security that sufficiently prevent cheating through the use of AI because they cheap.

This isn't somewhere with an C-level exec choosing not to spend the money, but usually an administrator that could make more personally working in the private sector trying to make whatever budget they have work while education keeps getting deprioritized (or intentionally degraded, depending on your state and/or level of cynicism).
