Answer.
FERPA allows sharing education records with a vendor only under an exception — most commonly the school-official exception, which requires the vendor perform a service the school would otherwise do, stay under the school's direct control, use the data only for authorized purposes, and not re-disclose it. An AI tutor that trains on or repurposes the records typically breaks that exception. Planisphere is designed to measure model behaviour without ingesting student records; it does not establish your FERPA basis or provide legal advice.
