STATE-READY Your state’s rules, built in

One sign-in for your entire school community. SchoolLife brings each person’s day together over the systems your district already runs.
Built by a 25-year EdTech leader, not by a vendor who read about it.
- FERPA-aligned audit logging
- Role-scoped access, by default
- Built on AWS
- Works with the systems you run
- Your systems stay as they are
The problem
Districts have less money, more mandates, and too many tools.
This is what district leaders are reporting in 2025–26. SchoolLife is built around these problems.
54%
of district leaders rank budget shortfalls in their top three concerns, up from 33% a year earlier
3,001
digital tools the average district can access, while each teacher uses about 4 a year
74%
of claimed ransomware attacks on education worldwide in 2025 hit K-12
18%
of teachers plan to leave their jobs, and they report worse well-being than similar workers

Why we built it
Built by an educator who has worked every side of the school system.
Our founder has spent 25 years in EdTech across the US and the Caribbean, from the classroom to technology leadership. That includes running district technology and cybersecurity, working alongside district leadership and the board, and teaching at the university level. In every role, the same problems kept coming back. SchoolLife is what our founder wanted for every district: one sign-in for the whole school community.
“Twenty-five years in schools made one thing clear: the technology should serve the people, not the other way around.”
Student data in too many places
Every extra account and vendor is one more place information can be exposed, and boards want to know where it lives.
Deadlines buried in portals
State reports, compliance dates and grant deadlines get missed because nobody sees them in time.
Budgets keep shrinking
Districts pay for tools they barely use while every dollar is needed in classrooms.
IT teams stretched thin
Account setup, password resets and access reviews never end, and new staff wait days for access.
- 25 years in EdTech, from the classroom to technology leadership
- Led district technology and cybersecurity
- Worked alongside the superintendent, business office and board
- Grant writing for schools and nonprofits
- University professor of technology and cybersecurity
- Master’s in Educational Leadership
- Experience across the US and the Caribbean
SchoolLife is being shaped with input from district leaders like you.
Problems we solve
The problems districts bring to us.
If these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
Budgets are shrinking.
Nobody can say which vendors hold student data.
New phone-free school laws are arriving.
Compliance work is driving principals out.
Chronic absenteeism is still high.
K-12 is the top ransomware target.
Burnout is driving teachers out.
Nobody knows what the district owns.
SchoolLife addresses each of these. We’ll walk you through how.

Built for your state
Your state’s requirements, handled from day one.
National platforms treat state rules as your problem. SchoolLife is set up for your state’s deadlines, laws and reporting from the first day.
Phone and device policies
More states now require phone-free school days. SchoolLife keeps the policy manageable in every building.
Anti-bullying deadlines
HIB timelines stay in view, so reports and investigations stay on schedule.
Safety drills, organized
Drill requirements scheduled and recorded, without the binder.
State reporting in view
Know what's due to the state, and when, before it becomes urgent.
For everyone at the table
What each decision-maker gets.
Superintendent & business administrator
"SchoolLife pays for itself."
Find the software spend you don't need, and put it back into classrooms.
Principals
"Our state’s compliance, already set up."
Less time on compliance paperwork, and more time in classrooms.
Board of education
"We know which vendors hold our students' data."
A clear answer for the board, especially after the next vendor breach.
Business office
"Know what you own, where it is, and who has it."
Stop buying what's already in a closet, and be ready when the auditor asks.
What SchoolLife is
SchoolLife works on top of the systems you already run.
Your records stay where they are. SchoolLife brings the day's work together, shows which system every number came from, and takes each person one click to the system that owns it.
What it's not
- Not your SIS
- Not your HR system
- Not your finance system
- Not a place your records live
What it is
- One sign-in for every staff member
- The day's work, tuned to the job
- Every figure names its source system
- One click to the system that owns it
Who it's for
Every role sees only what the job requires.
One sign-in for everyone who works in your district. Each person sees what their job needs, and nothing it doesn’t.

On student data
We hold as little as we possibly can.
Student privacy is usually a superintendent's first objection, so we designed around it from the start.
If you drop us tomorrow, every system you have is exactly as you left it.
01
We record that a document arrived.
A doctor's note is filed wherever your district already files health documents. SchoolLife only records that it arrived.
02
Need to know only.
A teacher is told a child is excused from PE, but not why.
03
No decision means no access.
If there's no clear access decision for a guardian, SchoolLife shows them nothing.
04
Every access is logged.
FERPA-aligned audit logging records every time someone opens a student record.
Questions districts ask
Common questions.
The questions business administrators, technology directors and boards ask us first. More detail is in the Trust & Security center.
How much does SchoolLife cost?
Reach out for a quote, and we’ll prepare a written quote for your district.
Who owns our data?
Your district does. We act as a service provider on your behalf, and you can access, correct, export and delete your data at any time. We never sell student data, and never use it for advertising or any non-educational purpose.
Does SchoolLife replace our SIS?
No. SchoolLife isn't your SIS, HR or finance system. Your records stay authoritative in the systems you already run, and SchoolLife reflects them.
Will you sign our state’s data privacy agreement?
Yes. We sign the Student Data Privacy Consortium's National Data Privacy Agreement and the applicable state exhibit. It works with your state’s model agreement, for example through the New Jersey Student Privacy Alliance, so you’re not negotiating a one-off contract.
Are you a "school official" under FERPA?
Yes. We operate under your district's direct control, for the contracted educational purpose only.
How is our data protected?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Staff sign in through your district's Google or Microsoft single sign-on, multi-factor authentication is required for privileged roles, and every record view is limited by role and recorded in an audit log.
What happens if there's a security incident?
We follow a documented response plan and notify your district within 72 hours of confirming a data breach, as the National Data Privacy Agreement requires.
Can students and parents use SchoolLife?
Only if your district turns it on. Students sign in through your single sign-on and see only what you make available. Parents and guardians see information only about their own child.
Does SchoolLife use AI?
SchoolLife works fully without it. Any AI features are optional, available only to district staff (never to students or parents), and your district can turn them off at any time. Details are in our AI Policy.
What happens if we stop using SchoolLife?
Every system you run stays exactly as you left it. We return and securely delete your data within 60 days, as the National Data Privacy Agreement requires, or sooner if state law requires.
