no their "contract" specifically forbids it. To be fair Netflx can't provide such a license as they would have to work out some arrangement with tens of thousands of rights holders. However are asking about using Netflix titles IN the class or streamed directly to students?
As a practical matter nothing would prevent a school from asking students to have Netflix accounts and watch any film they have, using Netflix. I am sure something could be worked out re the $8.00 a month or whatever it is fee. Not exactly a deal breaker in my view. Streaming in a classroom might be more complicated. However since most everything they have would be available for purchase from another source not sure it is that hard to get a copy from another source to use in a classroom.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
