Copyright Policy Studied DAN CARLSRUH Review Stall FARMINGTON - A teacher in the Davis County School District has a great idea, maybe its even marketable. Perhaps its a computer program which the teacher feels could make money in the business world. It would be tempting to go commercial with it, a good way for a teacher to compensate The Layton Hills LAYTON Mall will be sponsoring a holiday bazaar Tuesday, Nov. 27, through Saturday, Dec. 1.

Thats the question the Davis County School Board has before it as it tries to formulate a copyright policy for the district. Jay Dansie, director of the Davis School Districts audio and visual department, presented a proposed copyright policy to the school board last week. According to the policy, All original works written, composed and produced by Davis County School District employees as part of an assigned task while under employement, shall be copyrighted naming the Davis Coutny School District as the sole registrant. The proposed policy also stated that, Such produced materials shall be solely owned by the Davis County School District, including and reserving the exclusive rights for displaying. Dansie said the purpose of the proposed policy is that marketable ideas created by teachers should be used for the financial benefit of the district since the teacher used district time and money to develop the idea. But Dr. Raymond Briscoe, board member, said he was worried that such a policy might hamper good ideas if teachers know they wont get anything from their own creativity.

He said if a professor has an idea which has commercial value then he can negotiate with the university. In this way, Reading said, both sides can benefit from the idea. The University of Utahs policy states, "The university does not claim copyright on material resulting from teaching.. .unless there is substantial support beyond regular salary, customary use of secretarial assistance, and the use of libraries, laboratories, studio, or computer time on equipment on hand. The university policy further states that, In all cases of substantial university support, an appropriate agreement between the university and the authors) shall be entered into prior to the beginning of the project. Board member Bruce Parrey asked if anything done on district time and equipment should be copyrighted at all. He said the public would be better served if teachers ideas became public property instead of putting restrictive uses on the material. If something is copyrighted, other individuals or groups would have to get permission and possibly pay the school district for use of the material. But Dr. Lawrence Welling, district superintendent, said the purpose of the proposed policy is not to restrict information but to control it for the benefit of the district. Briscoe said the district needs to have some copyright guidelines but more review is needed prior to approval. The board tabled the proposed policy and Welling said he would look into the University of Utahs copyright rules to attain more ideas on mutual SHORT OF CASH?
