FERPA Compliance

Protecting student education records in partnership with schools and districts

What is FERPA?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. When schools and districts use our platform, we become stewards of educational data and comply fully with FERPA requirements.

For Schools & Districts

We provide Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) and state-specific addenda to meet your procurement requirements.

  • Clever/ClassLink rostering support
  • SSO via SAML/OIDC
  • District-level data controls
  • Audit logs and reporting

For Parents

When your child's school uses our platform, FERPA grants you rights to your child's education records.

  • Right to inspect records
  • Right to request corrections
  • Right to consent to disclosures
  • Right to file complaints
