Education

A grader scores. A tutor answers. The record shows an educator reviewed it.

When a parent, a board member or the Office for Civil Rights asks how the district supervised its AI graders, a policy is a promise. A sealed record of who reviewed each score is the record you hand them.

The duty

The duty is the district's, not the vendor's.

AI tutors and graders run under the rules your district already answers to.

RuleWhat it asks
FERPAProtect education records and student-data privacy.
Title VIMeet civil-rights duties, including disparate impact in AI decisions.
COPPAConsent and retention limits for under-13 data, under the 2025 amended Rule.
IDEAProtect IEP integrity, including AI in special-education eligibility and service decisions.

Build your frame

Your district's rules, not ours.

Planisphere doesn't ship a district's policy. You name the boundary, the check you already trust, the person who guards it and what happens at the crossing.

BoundaryWhere AI meets student work

A score before it reaches a student, identifiable work sent to a tutor or grader.

CheckThe standard you already use

Your rubric or student-data screen, recorded with its answer.

GuardA named person

The assessment lead, the classroom teacher, the district privacy officer.

ResponseWatch, Flag, Hold or Wall

Watch records every crossing today; Hold and Wall run through the gate API.

For your developers

Four calls around the score.

Gate the score, record the educator's decision, export the trail, verify it.

planisphere-sdk · TypeScript
const ps = new Planisphere("ps_live_YOUR_KEY");
// 1. Gate the score
const d = await ps.gate({ pack: "education",
  action_type: "education:scoring_evidence",
  proposed_action: "Release AI-assigned scores on the unit essay.",
  context: { student_record_boundary: "de-identified", school_or_district: "example-district",
    educator_review_owner: "assessment-lead", assessment_context: "formative-writing-rubric" },
  regime_refs: ["FERPA", "Title VI"] });
// → decision: "needs_review"
// 2. The educator's decision, sealed as its own receipt
await ps.recordReview({ pack: "education", action_key: d.action_key,
  reviewer: "assessment-lead", decision: "approved" });
// 3. Export the trail · 4. Verify, no trust required

Verifying a receipt needs no account. A record is not a legal finding or a certification.

Questions.

Does Planisphere decide whether a score is fair?+

No. It records who reviewed what. A record can support the district's answer to a complaint or an audit; it isn't a FERPA determination, a scoring-validity claim or a replacement for educator judgment.

Do you see student work?+

Your workspace decides how much readable detail a record keeps. Ask us about keeping details on your side before you connect a student system.

Who can check a receipt?+

Anyone you give it to: a parent, a board member or the Office for Civil Rights. Verifying needs no account and no trust in the district.
