REPRODUCTION OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS

FILE: EGAAA-2

Critical

It is the intent of the Board to delineate, enforce and abide by the provisions of current copyright laws as they affect the school district and its employees.

Copyrighted materials, whether they are print or non-print, will not be duplicated, unless such reproduction meets “fair use” standards, or unless written permission from the copyright holder has been received.

The Board does not sanction illegal duplication in any form. Employees who willfully disregard the district’s copyright position are in violation of Board policy; they do so at their own risk and assume all liability responsibility.

Numerous pamphlets and articles are available in each media center. Copyright Condenses is available in the teacher lounges, the principals’ offices and in the Learning Resource Centers. Permission has been received to copy and distribute information.

A copyright brochure is prepared for each teacher to note guidelines which are considered the broadest interpretation of the copyright law. This policy is not meant to legally interpret the law nor is it meant to cover all aspects of the law.
