Christina Alves5 min read
The rapid adoption of AI tools in K-12 classrooms has created a compliance landscape that many district leaders find difficult to navigate.
FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, was written decades before large language models existed, but its core principles remain the most important framework for protecting student data in the AI era.
EdLoop was designed with these principles as architectural constraints, not afterthoughts. All student data is encrypted at rest and in transit, stored exclusively within the United States.
