On November 10, 2026, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) announced a legally binding agreement with Anthropic to enforce AI safety and privacy standards in U.S. K-12 schools. This agreement applies to Anthropic's existing partnerships with school districts using its AI tool, Claude for Teachers. The AFT's 10-point plan, proposed in May, includes a ban on student-facing AI in elementary schools and restrictions on AI tools for younger students. The agreement emphasizes that student data will be protected, educators will retain control over instructional decisions, and clear information about AI products will be provided to schools and families. The initiative aims to create a safer educational environment amid a lack of federal AI regulations.
