GUIDELINES FOR OFF-AIR RECORDING OF BROADCAST PROGRAMMING FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES:

1.0 A broadcast program may be recorded off-air simultaneously with broadcast transmission (including
simultaneous cable re-transmission) and retained by a
non-profit educational institution for a period not to
exceed the first forty-five (45) consecutive calendar
days after date of recording. Upon conclusion of such
retention period, all off-air recordings must be erased
or destroyed immediately. "Broadcast programs" are
television programs transmitted by television stations
for reception by the general public without charge.

2.0 Off-air recordings may be used once by individual teachers in the course of relevant teaching activities,
and repeated once only when instructional reinforcement
is necessary in classrooms and similar places devoted to
instruction within a single building, cluster or campus,
as well as in the homes of students receiving formalized
home instruction, during the first ten (10) consecutive
school days in the forty-five (45) day calendar day
retention period. "School days" are school session days -- not counting weekends, holidays, vacations, examination periods, or other scheduled interruptions --
within the forty-five (45) calendar day retention period.

3.0 Off-air recordings may be made only at the request of and
used by individual teachers, and may not be regularly
recorded in anticipation of requests. No broadcast program may be recorded off-air more than once at the
request of the same teacher regardless of the number of
times the program may be broadcast.

4.0 A limited number of copies may be reproduced from each
off-air recording to meet the legitimate needs of teachers under these guidelines. Each such additional
copy shall be subject to all provisions governing the
original recording.



CODE: IIAE-E2

5.0 After the first ten (10) consecutive school days, off-
air recordings may be used up to the end of the forty-
five (45) calendar day retention period only for teacher
evaluation purposes, i.e., to determine whether or not
to include the broadcast program in the teaching
curriculum, and may not be used in the recording
institution for student exhibition or any other non-
evaluation purpose without authorization.

6.0 Off-air recordings need not be used in their entirety,
but the recorded programs may not be altered from their
original content. Off-air recordings may not be physically or electronically combined or merged to
constitute teaching anthologies or compilations.

7.0 All copies of off-air recordings must include the copy-
right notice on the broadcast programs as recorded.
