Cost shouldn't decide
who a district can protect.
The same statutes bind every district. The budgets to answer them do not. The Foundation funds independent audits,DPA reviews,penetration tests and remediation coaching for districts that can't reach the full cost on their own.
The obligation is federal. The budget is local.
A district of two thousand students and a district of two hundred thousand answer to the same statutes,sign the same kinds of vendor agreements,hold the same kinds of records. What differs is whether there is money in the budget to check any of it.
Every district signs the same kinds of vendor agreements. What differs is whether there's money in the budget to check them.
The same work a well-funded district buys,from the same people,at the same standard.
DPA review
Vendor agreements read against the statutes that actually bind the district — FERPA,COPPA and whatever the state passed last session.
EdTech audit
What's running,who authorized it,and what it can reach. The number of tools on record and the number reachable through single sign-on are rarely the same number.
Penetration test
Performed in partnership with our CREST certified audit partner,translated for districts.
Remediation coaching
Someone alongside the district's team while the fixes land. A report that closes out a finding is not the same as a district that closed it.
The obligations don't shrink with the enrollment. FERPA and COPPA bind a district of two thousand the same as one of two hundred thousand.
One district's own records listed about sixty EdTech tools. Just under five hundred were reachable through single sign-on.
One commitment carries a district all the way through.
Every dollar goes to the independent firms doing the work.
