2. AI Policy: Safety & Privacy

Build robust guardrails

Parents, teachers, and district leaders must trust that AI use doesn’t compromise student data or digital safety. Policies should codify best practices in privacy, transparency, and human-centered oversight.

Enforce vendor compliance standards:

• FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR compliance verification
• SOC 2 certification and regular security audits
• Custom Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

Implement operational safeguards:

• Content moderation protocols and output monitoring
• Tiered access controls based on user roles
• Administrative oversight of tool capabilities and features
• Regular auditing of data-sharing practices

Establish student protection measures:

• Content filtering to block inappropriate material
• PII protection with encryption and secure data handling
• Transparent disclosure of all data collection and usage
• Opt-in/opt-out mechanisms for families
