District Licensing Guide & Group License Options

by | Feb 1, 2024

District Licenses are a great way for a school district, regional area, or other centralized administrative body to obtain comprehensive copyright licensing for their entire group. With millions of titles from today’s top Member Publishers and Member Labels, School Music License is the premier licensing service for US-based K-12 schools. Our District Licenses make securing copyright permissions easy!

A District License allows each school within the district (also known as a suborganization) to maintain its own individual license types and enrollment numbers while centralizing the billing and account management.

Our top priorities are to support school arts and athletic programs while ensuring that artists, composers, and publishers receive the appropriate royalties for their work. Creating a District License provides the Group Manager with additional tools for organization and accountability. A few highlights of our District License include:

  • Streamlined and centralized billing with one invoice for all suborganizations.
  • Discounts from 5-20% depending on the number of individual schools in your district / group.
  • Ability to see in real-time all of the music reported by your suborganizations for added accountability and copyright compliance.
  • Individual music royalty reporting for each school, with the option to have multiple account users to serve both arts and athletic departments.
  • World-class customer service based regionally for comprehensive support, including personalized webinars.

We know that copyright and licensing can feel overwhelming, and so can creating an administrative structure to support your organization. That is why we have created the helpful “District Licensing Guide” below. The steps in this guide will help not only with building your District License, but also with the ongoing management of your account.
