Questions to ask the vendor
    This AI-assisted screening is based solely on the supplied text and is not legal advice or formal district approval. Routine yellow review notes can appear below while the overall recommendation remains green. Normal district review still applies.
    Framework used by this version
    The analysis is designed to distinguish true blocking concerns from routine contract, DPA, configuration, and vendor follow-up. It is informed by:
    • FERPA and applicable school-official / education-record considerations.
    • The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including the FTC's 2025 final rule amendments.
    • California Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA), Business and Professions Code § 22584.
    • California Education Code § 49073.1 contractual student-record protections.
    • California Department of Education 2025 AI Guidance and 2026 Model Policy: Artificial Intelligence in Education. CDE describes the model policy as exemplary and nonmandatory.
    • California SB 243 companion-chatbot requirements when the supplied policy suggests the product may fall within that category.
    Always confirm current law and district counsel guidance when a vendor presents a significant or unusual risk.
