Legal
Terms of use
DRAFT — under review. These terms haven't been finalized and aren't legal advice. Last updated October 12, 2026.
These terms cover your use of SchoolBoardNews, its website and iOS app, operated by Spade House Studio in Seattle, Washington. By using SchoolBoardNews, you agree to them. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.
What SchoolBoardNews is
SchoolBoardNews links to education news reported by other publishers. We show headlines, short summaries of what a story covers, and a link to the original article. Articles belong to their publishers. We aren't responsible for their content, and following a link takes you to their site under their terms. How stories get here explains how we choose and check stories.
We work to keep links and labels accurate, but we can't guarantee that every story, date, topic, or location is correct or current. SchoolBoardNews isn't affiliated with any school district or government agency.

Comments, reactions, and shares
You're responsible for what you post. Don't post anything that:
- harasses, threatens, or targets a person, including students and school staff;
- shares someone's private information, such as a student's records or a home address;

- impersonates someone or infringes someone else's rights.
You keep ownership of what you post, and you let us display it on SchoolBoardNews. Editors can hide comments that break these rules, and we can suspend accounts that keep breaking them. Use "Report" on a comment or story to flag a problem.
