EGAD - COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE

The Board expects all employees and students in Cape Elizabeth School Department (CESD) to comply with the copyright law and guidelines. Employees and students who willfully disregard the law/guidelines and the Board's copyright policy and procedure do so at their own risk. CESD will not extend legal and/or insurance protection to employees or students for willful violations of this policy. Such violations may also result in disciplinary action.

The Superintendent is responsible for implementing this policy and the accompanying administrative procedure. The Superintendent may delegate specific responsibilities to building principals and others as the Superintendent deems appropriate.

CESD will take the following steps to discourage violations of the copyright law:

  1. All instructional staff and administrators shall receive a copy of this policy and the accompanying administrative procedure.
  2. Copyright notices shall be posted within view of copying equipment.
  3. Teachers and library media specialists shall be responsible for informing students about the legal and ethical issues raised by copyright infringement and illegal use of copyrighted materials.
