Key Argument

Before a student is arrested, charged, or brought before a judge, they may already have been labeled. Not in a courtroom, but in a dashboard. A flag in Gaggle. An alert in Securly Aware. A behavioral risk score in Navigate360 Detect. These AI-generated designations are shaping how students are monitored, disciplined, and sometimes referred to law enforcement, with no notice and no way to contest what the system decided. This is not a privacy story. It is a due process story.
