- US education software must address FERPA for student records and COPPA for children under 13; the amended COPPA Rule's compliance date was April 22, 2026.
- Public schools and universities must meet WCAG 2.1 AA under ADA Title II by April 26, 2027 (large entities) or April 26, 2028 (smaller entities), after the US Department of Justice extended the deadlines in April 2026.
- Districts expect rostering and single sign-on through Clever or ClassLink, and LMS integration through 1EdTech standards such as LTI 1.3 and OneRoster.
- State laws such as California's SOPIPA, New York Education Law 2-d and Illinois SOPPA add contract and data rules; many districts ask vendors to sign a data privacy agreement.
- Typical cost: $30K–$60K for an MVP, $60K–$150K for a full platform, $150K+ for district-wide or AI-heavy platforms.
