Boring about data. On purpose.
This page exists to be forwarded — to your IT director, your legal counsel, your board. Everything below is contract language, not marketing language. If a claim here matters to your procurement, we'll put it in writing.
FERPA alignment
- Latitude operates as a school official with a legitimate educational interest under FERPA
- Every data read is scoped to the user's organization and role — building- and caseload-level access
- Every sensitive view writes an audit trail: who looked, at what, when
- FERPA-safe printable records for MTSS meetings and family conferences
COPPA & early learners
- BLOOM (K–3 SEL) is consent-gated at the architecture level, not by policy
- No SEL data for an early learner is collected or displayed without documented parental consent
- School-authorized basis supported for in-school assessments where applicable
- Consent status is visible per student, and revocation takes effect immediately
What we never do
- We never sell student data — to anyone, for any reason
- We never use student data to train AI models
- We never charge for data export, including in your exit year
- We never require you to redline your state's student data privacy agreement — we sign it as written
Access & security
- Data encrypted in transit and at rest
- Role-based access mapped to your org chart during implementation
- SIS sync (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward) — your SIS remains the system of record
- Admin-only sections for sensitive conduct cases
Rostering, schedules, attendance, and grades sync in from your SIS. Each Latitude product writes its operational data — passes, points, incidents, observations, SEL check-ins, ICAP milestones — to one canonical student record. The TIER MTSS engine reads a defined subset of that record (SIS attendance and academics, COMPASS conduct, SPARK recognition, ROAM movement) to recommend tiers. Nothing leaves the platform. Everything is exportable by you.
