Better tools for educators, administrators, and learners.

Compliance Requirements

Every tool in your stack must support these.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act — student records must be protected. Any tool handling student data must comply.

REQUIREDCOPPA

For K-12: tools used by children under 13 must comply with COPPA parental consent requirements.

REQUIREDADA Section 508

Accessibility requirements for educational technology used with federal funding.

RECOMMENDEDCIPA

Children's Internet Protection Act — filtering requirements for schools receiving E-rate funding.

Common Pain Points

⚠️Student data privacy compliance (FERPA) is complex
⚠️Faculty adoption of new tools is slow
⚠️Administrative workflows are paper-heavy
⚠️Learning outcomes are hard to measure
⚠️Budget constraints limit tool choices

Recommended Stacks

Curated combinations that work well together.

Approach with Caution

Popular tools that often disappoint education teams.

⚠️
Slack: Not FERPA-compliant by default. Requires specific configuration and BAA for student data. Consider Microsoft Teams as a safer default.
⚠️
Google Drive: Free consumer Google Drive is NOT FERPA-compliant. Only Google Workspace for Education with proper setup complies.
