Such a blanket statement can be misleading because ultimately,
it all depends upon how the (video production) is used. Schools can,
within what would probably be considered "fair use," use music as
outlined in the Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia.
But percentage used (etc) is only one piece of the puzzle.
Read the guildelines again for info regarding how the final
production may be used:

"Students may perform and display their own educational multimedia
projects created under Section 2 of these guidelines for educational uses
in the course for which they were created and may use them in
their own portfolios as examples of their academic work for later personal
uses such as job and graduate school interviews"

The Guidelines further state:

"5.3 Distribution of Multimedia Projects Beyond Limitations Listed in
These Guidelines Educators and students may not use their personally
created educational multimedia projects over
electronic networks, except for uses as described in Section 3.2.3,
without obtaining permissions for all
copyrighted works incorporated in the program."

(Section 3.2.3 speaks to being able to distribute over password
secured network so that only students in the particular course can
gain access).
