K12SafeList independently assesses every major AI tool for student data privacy, FERPA readiness, and district compliance — so your team doesn't start from scratch on every teacher request.
Every month teachers discover new AI tools and ask their district to approve them. We do the privacy research once, so every district benefits.
We review privacy policies, SDPC agreement status, DPA availability, data training practices, and admin controls for every tool.
Every assessment includes a clear verdict, compliance matrix, and specific district action steps — written for IT directors, not lawyers.
Our assessments are always free for districts. Early cohort members get our master DPA framework and compliance infrastructure too.
Our most-searched tools, with clear verdicts on district appropriateness.
Three products, three compliance profiles. Most teachers are using the wrong one — creating active FERPA exposure your district can't fix retroactively.
Used by 40% of U.S. public schools. Education-first design with SOC 2, FERPA and COPPA claims. SDPC agreement available.
Student-facing AI tutor with strong nonprofit privacy posture. COPPA compliant. 380+ district partners.
Strong compliance inside Google Workspace. Doesn't solve compliance for third-party tools outside the Google ecosystem.
Robust compliance within M365. Ownership of prompts raises questions. Third-party tools still require separate vetting.
Purpose-built for K-12 with real-time teacher oversight of student AI. Has the right compliance infrastructure — but only if your district executes the DPA.
New assessments published weekly. Join our cohort to get notified when a tool you care about is added.
That gap is your FERPA exposure. Teachers aren't waiting for approval — they're using consumer ChatGPT, Gemini, and dozens of other tools with student information right now.
"Teachers submit new AI tool requests every week. I don't have time to review each vendor's privacy policy from scratch."
K12SafeList gives you a starting point for every major tool — privacy assessment, DPA status, district control depth — so you can make faster, more defensible decisions.
"I know AI can help our teachers. But every time I try to move forward, I get stopped by compliance questions I can't answer."
Our assessments give you the compliance context you need to advocate for tools you believe in, without becoming a privacy expert yourself.
"Teachers will use AI tools whether we approve them or not. I need a defensible position."
K12SafeList helps you build a documented, defensible AI approval process you can present to your board and feel confident about.
We're working with a small group of forward-thinking districts to build the compliance infrastructure K-12 AI adoption needs. Free access to our master DPA framework, priority tool assessments, and a seat at the table.
