Every state has a public records law, the New Jersey equivalent of a FOIA request. Parents, educators, and advocates can use these laws to request records about software agreements, data-sharing practices, and AI tool approvals.
Records access is privacy in action. Knowing what agreements exist, and being able to verify them, is the first step in holding districts accountable.
