This brings up a good point. What about TV shows? If they are
educational and are used in conjunction with what they are teaching, is
it legal to show them? Netflix has a lot of NOVA and Discovery Channel
shows that you can stream.

We use Swank as well. The license cost is based on student population
and is per building (we pay under $400/building). We have it for all of
our buildings except the High School (I have had to deal with more than
one angry HS teacher over this). As with any of the licensing
companies, you have to check to make sure the movie you want to show is
covered. For example, Swank covers pretty much all of the major
studios/distributors EXCEPT Fox. Also, this covers ONLY motion pictures
- not TV shows.
On a related topic, we also have a district-wide ASCAP license to cover
playing copyrighted music (like at games, dances, etc).

I use swank motion pictures for movie licenses. They license movies
directly from the movie houses for educational purposes, whether for
instruction or for rewards.
