Security, privacy, and legal posture
Built for the questions district counsel asks first.
Special education data is among the most sensitive a district holds, and the records it produces end up in due process hearings. StrideSPED™ is designed around that reality rather than retrofitted for it.
Core protections
Six things a director and an IT lead will both want to hear.
Encrypted end to end
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, for every record touching a student.
Role-based access
A substitute sees what a substitute needs. Medical and psychological detail is partitioned by role.
District isolation
Database-level tenant separation so a school reaches only its own authorized rosters.
Bound to a person
Staff ID, timestamp, and device serial attached to every entry, with no way to backdate silently.
State-formatted incidents
Restraint and seclusion logs pre-populate the mandated report the moment they are recorded.
IDEA-aligned data model
Baselines, trial counts, percentage accuracy, and mastery criteria stored in the language an IEP already uses.
Compliance engine
The paperwork builds itself from work already done.
Staff enter data once, at the point of contact. Progress summaries, mastery trajectories, and mandated incident reports are generated from that same record.
Goal mastery trajectory tracking
Trial data is plotted automatically against baseline metrics and mastery criteria such as 80 percent accuracy over four consecutive weeks.
One-click IEP progress reports
Clean, audit-proof, printable PDF summaries with data charts and staff notes, ready for the IEP team meeting.
State restraint and crisis formatter
Whenever a crisis intervention or physical hold is logged, the mandated state incident report is pre-populated, cutting liability and paperwork at the same time.
Goal mastery trajectory
Follows 3-step directions with fewer than 2 prompts
Full list
Security and IT management capabilities.
FERPA and COPPA aligned architecture
AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and strict role-based access control so a substitute never sees a full psychological history.
Multi-tenant district partitioning
Database-level isolation ensuring each school and district reaches only its own authorized rosters.
MDM and hardware fleet management
A live hardware status board with battery levels, last-sync timestamps, assigned classrooms, and device health for every unit in the building.
Audit-proof log integrity
Immutable timestamping that protects the district in due process hearings and disputes over delivered service minutes.
Said plainly, since this is a pre-launch page
These describe how StrideSPED™ is being built, not certifications already awarded by a third party. Any district evaluating us will get straight answers about current status, data processing agreements, and where data lives. We would rather lose a deal than overstate a compliance claim.
