General circulation of films, videotapes and audiotapes, slides, transparencies, and filmstrips from the state and regional audiovisual services is restricted to Virginia public schools and state-supported colleges for use in regularly scheduled classes under the direction of teachers with certain exceptions given below. However, these materials also may be used in the schools under the teachers' direction for club activities, etc., where the club or organization is sponsored by the school, for adult education where the program is a part of the school or division educational program and is directed or supervised by the school or the school division and for educational programs such as those conducted by parent-teacher associations, or parent study groups in connection with or sponsored by the school. These materials also may be used for educational programs conducted by state agencies.

Exceptions to the above are as follows:
