The IEP says the school is legally required to acquire certain things =AF = but they do have to acquire them in legal ways. THey can't steal them any = more than they could steal an Alphasmart if the IEP said the child needed = one. =20 Same rationalization as "it's for education, so it's okay." =20 Susan Jones Academic Development Specialist Academic Development Center Parkland College Champaign, IL 61821 sujones@parkland.edu Webmastress, http://www.resourceroom.net >>> juliennelong@SBCGLOBAL.NET 09/24/04 08:12PM >>> Tawana West asked: OK, now...do any of you know if there is an exemption from copyright laws for special education, and/or is it true that "equal access" to education supersedes other laws? I, too, would be interested in the answer. I had a special ed teacher = copy almost all the books-on-tape in the library. She kept the tapes in her classroom. She insisted that it was legal because the student was = required to have books-on-tape per her modifications. I never felt that one could overrule a law in that way. The worst part was that whenever a teacher needed a certain book-on-tape and it was not available, the teacher would say, "Never mind. I can get one from Mrs. so-and-so. She has all of them in her classroom!" Julie Long Librarian Katy ISD Texas -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
