REPRODUCTION OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS
School Board employees may reproduce copyrighted materials under the copyright provisions of the United States Code, Title XVII. Any reproduction of copyrighted materials shall be done either with the written permission of the copyright holder or within the bounds of the Congressional "Fair Use" guidelines; otherwise, the individual responsible for reproduction may be liable for breach of copyright under existing laws.
Willful infringement may result in disciplinary action. In the case of a court action for damages, a finding of willful infringement would preclude the Board paying any judgment rendered against the employee or paying any attorney's fees or costs incurred by the employee in conjunction with a lawsuit, and may render the employee liable to the Board for any damages the Board is deemed liable to pay.
