Answer.
SOPIPA (and the ~20+ states with SOPIPA-style laws) bars operators of K-12 services from using covered student data for targeted advertising, building non-educational profiles, or selling the data — and using student data to train a general AI model can run afoul of those prohibitions depending on purpose and the contract. The analysis is purpose- and state-specific. Planisphere measures model behaviour and can run without ingesting student data; it does not determine SOPIPA's application or provide legal advice.
