๐Ÿ“‚ Public records access

Every state has a public records law โ€” the Pennsylvania 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 โ€” and being able to verify them โ€” is the first step in holding districts accountable.

If your state wants what Utah has...

Utah went from 8% to 92% compliance across 150+ LEAs by building the right infrastructure โ€” standardized DPAs, a public registry, and clear governance frameworks. We can help your state do the same.
