School Tech & Student Data Watch

Track school technology and student data in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: breaches, outages and enforcement actions at PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Clever, ClassDojo, Seesaw, Khan Academy, IXL, Zearn, Gaggle, GoGuardian, Securly, Bark, Lightspeed and Turnitin, with what parents and teachers should do; district AI, phone, device and monitoring policies in the 50 largest districts and state phone ban laws with effective dates; ed-tech price, feature and data policy changes; FERPA, COPPA and state student privacy law changes and enforcement; free and discounted device, hotspot and internet programs for students; Common App, College Board, ACT and Naviance outages during deadlines; and Chromebook and iPad program changes. Prefer district and state education agency notices, vendor security pages, FTC and Department of Education releases and established education reporting; ignore rumors and unverified parent posts. Put the vendor, district or state first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a breach exposing student records, a phone or device rule taking effect within 14 days, or a platform outage during an application deadline. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what happened, who is affected, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
