COPYRIGHT POLICY AS IT APPLIES TO COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE
Students are expected to abide by the Federal Copyright Law (Title 17, United States Code) as it applies to copyrighted works, computers, and software.
It is the policy of this District:
While staff members may use appropriate supplementary materials, it is each staff member's responsibility to abide by the District's copyright compliance procedures and to obey the copyright laws. The District is not responsible for any violations of the copyright laws by its staff or students. A staff member should contact the Superintendent or designee whenever the staff member is uncertain about whether using or copying material complies with the District’s procedures or is permissible under the law, or wants assistance on when and how to obtain proper authorization. No staff member shall, without first obtaining the permission of the Superintendent or designee, install or download any program on a District-owned computer. At no time shall it be necessary for a District staff member to violate copyright laws in order to properly perform his or her duties.
