AFAIK, neither BMI nor ASCAP grants blanket exemptions for "Educational Use" performance. The issue of performance is muddied a bit by the fact that either the facility or the performing group (or both) may have the BMI license. Here's a link to the BMI website page, sorted by type of performance.
FWIW, BMI seems to be a fairly civil (as licensing organizations go) bunch of suits.
Note that BMI does not deal with mechanical reproduction rights, only performance.
