Does your school already have a "blanket license" with ASCAP and BMI?
Maybe the school district handles this. If so, you may be covered. If
not, one would turn to fair use, and after a careful examination of the
four factors, make that determination.

Subject: GEN: copyright question
The principal and one of our special ed. teachers are interested in
playing
educational songs (from Schoolhouse Rock and others) over the school
intercom
after the morning announcements. They are interested in playing songs
pertaining to our state standards and having a "song of the week".
Would this
be within fair use guidelines? If not, do we contact the recording
company for
permission or BMI or ASCAP or whom?
