Anthropic Establishes AI Safety and Privacy Standards with Teacher Unions for K-12 Schools

Anthropic has formalized a legally binding agreement with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) to implement AI safety, privacy, and transparency standards for K-12 schools. This pact, effective November 10, 2026, mandates Anthropic to delete school data from active systems within 180 days of request, with backups purged concurrently. The agreement applies to existing contracts using 'Claude for Teachers' and expands on their partnership.
