The Board of Education directs its staff and students to use copyrighted works only to the extent that the law permits. The Board recognizes that Federal law applies to public school districts and the staff and students must, therefore, avoid acts of copyright infringement under penalty of law.
In order to help the staff and students abide by the laws set forth in Title 17 of the United States Code, the Board directs the District Administrator to provide administrative guidelines regarding the copying and distribution of copyrighted materials for instructional purposes and for the appropriate use of copyrighted materials on the Board’s web site.
Because the Board hosts a web site and stores information on it at the direction of users, it is classified as an on-line service provider for copyright purposes. In order to limit the Board’s liability risk relating to material/information residing, at the direction of a user, on its system or network, the Board directs the District Administrator to annually appoint an individual as the agent to receive notification of claimed infringement.
