Catapult K12’s policy is to use only paid-for/licensed royalty-free images on all website and APP design templates and content elements. Any images added to the website or APP after launch are the responsibility of the client.
We recommend that our clients use high-quality images created especially for their district and schools, but we recognize that this is not always possible. Following are some suggestions for finding free stock images online.
The following websites offer free images for schools, with a copyright license for unlimited use. However, they do not guarantee copyright for identifiable people, logos or brands in the photos.
Catapult K12 recommends that clients use only stock photos without identifiable people, logos, brands, etc. or images cropped to eliminate these identities.
