A Day at the District
A Tuesday at Riverside Unified.
K-12 district. 42,000 students. 58 schools. Special education, Title IX, FERPA, and student discipline — every communication and every document runs through compliance frameworks that were designed to be enforced.

The Teacher's Email
A special education teacher is emailing a parent about their child's IEP progress. She starts typing the student's diagnosis, behavioral observations, and assessment scores into a personal Gmail account. Edge is designed to identify the student PII at the keyboard — before it leaves the district's secure email system. FERPA-protected information stays within the district's authorized channels.

The Title IX Finding Letter
The Title IX coordinator has completed an investigation into a student-on-student harassment complaint. The finding letter is ready to send to both parties. Audit runs it from the perspective of the respondent's attorney, the complainant's attorney, and an OCR investigator. Identified: the finding doesn't address the standard of evidence used, and the remedial measures section lacks specificity required under the 2024 Title IX regulations. Both gaps create potential OCR compliance risk. Fixed before either party receives it.

Identity Route™
The Parent Portal Message
A parent messages through the district portal: "My son has an IEP and his teacher is not providing the accommodations listed in the plan. I want to file a complaint." Route reads the input: potential IDEA compliance complaint, prior written notice obligation, due process hearing risk. Route escalates to the special education director. The AI doesn't respond to IDEA complaints. A human does.

Identity Comply™
The IEP Annual Review Package
The district is preparing for 340 annual IEP reviews this quarter. Each package includes present levels of performance, goals, service delivery plans, and progress monitoring data. Comply is designed to cross-reference each IEP against California Education Code requirements, IDEA procedural safeguards, and the district's own service delivery records. Gaps between what the IEP promises and what the records show are identified before the review meeting.

The Discipline Policy Update
The district is updating its student discipline policy to comply with California's AB 2598 restrictions on suspensions. Audit runs the draft from the perspective of a student rights attorney, an ACLU policy analyst, and an OCR investigator. Identified: the alternative consequences section doesn't account for students with IEPs who have manifestation determination protections. The policy could result in discipline that violates IDEA safeguards. Fixed before adoption.

The EdTech Vendor Data Share
The district is sharing student roster data with a new learning management system vendor. The data export includes student names, grades, IEP status flags, and parent contact information. Edge is designed to verify the export matches the data sharing agreement. Identified: the export includes IEP status indicators that weren't authorized in the vendor's data processing agreement. The unauthorized fields are flagged before transmission.
