If you are paid to write code for someone else, that other
entity owns the copyright on your work, they paid for it.
Schools are the same thing, students are creating work to
submit to school, so the school owns the copyright. The
enrollment documents that are signed to enter an educational
institute always include clauses specifying this. It's
nothing new or controversial.

They want to be able to 'claim credit', not 'cash in'.

I did quick review of the bios of the school board members. Most have have
highly lauded backgrounds in community activism. Most are African-American.
One has to wonder how such a proposal could come from this group. It seems to me
that the board has no understanding of copyright law. The schools can certainly
'claim credit' without owning copyrights. What's really going on here?
