Carrie, I checked with both ASCAP and BMI in the last month while writing a piece,
and neither offers a venue license (they don't call it a blanket license) for K-12
schools. They do for colleges, however. I asked how a school could "get legal" with
music, and they said they didn't know. It was a totally untapped market for them.
If the music industry continues to tank, I would fully expect they will decide to
tap that market.

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.
