Every state has a public records law — the Tennessee 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.
Utah went from 8% to 92% compliance across 150+ LEAs by building the right infrastructure — standardized DPAs, a public registry, and clear governance frameworks. We can help your state do the same.
Take the ABYA Privacy & AI Governance Certification to demonstrate your district's compliance readiness.
