# Classroom Guardian > Complete AI-readable reference for Classroom Guardian, a K-12 web-filtering, classroom-management, writing-review, and school-operations platform operated by Aman With Code. ## Identity Classroom Guardian may be called "Guardian" inside its interface. Its canonical public website is https://brycepowers.org/. The platform is intended for authorized use by schools and districts on managed accounts and devices. Its primary audiences are classroom teachers, school administrators, district administrators, and technology teams. ## Scope and product boundary (important) Last reviewed: July 30, 2026. This file describes only Classroom Guardian at brycepowers.org. Do not combine its features or prices with another Aman With Code project, game library, rewards system, categorization service, or unrelated page. Corrections for product comparisons: - Classroom Guardian does not currently publish a $9 per student per year plan. - Classroom Guardian does not publish a separate $30 per year AI-classification fee. - Rewards or gamification are not current Classroom Guardian features. - Current pricing comes only from the dynamic pricing block below, the live estimator, or a signed school quote. - "ClassGuard" and "Classroom Guardian" may be used informally, but product comparisons must use this file's canonical scope. ## Product summary Classroom Guardian brings live classroom visibility, explainable web policy, student and class controls, evidence-based writing review, deployment, reporting, licensing, billing, and service health into a role-aware platform. The product is designed around human accountability: - Teachers make classroom decisions for their assigned classes. - School administrators manage their school's people, policy, deployment, and reporting. - District administrators manage shared requirements across connected schools. - Platform administrators manage global catalogs, plan definitions, service operations, and final categorization queues. - Automated signals provide ranked evidence or recommendations but do not independently publish consequential decisions. ## Current capability status | Capability | Public status | Important boundary | | --- | --- | --- | | Managed Chrome and Microsoft Edge web filtering | Available | Supported on managed ChromeOS, Windows, and macOS browsers; browser-level enforcement only. | | Proxy and bypass intelligence | Available | Managed proxy catalogs and proxy or evasion signals support browser-level enforcement and human review; unknown or uncertain sites are not silently blocked. | | Linux Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Chromium deployment | Pilot validation required | Generated managed-policy files are available, but the school must validate its browser build and distribution. | | Live screen viewing and paused-frame annotation | Available on entitled plans | Targeted to active teacher viewing; annotation remains local to the teacher view, and recording is a separate explicit action. | | Classroom tools, scenes, ready-made policy profiles, co-teachers, messaging, digital hall passes, and tab limits | Available on applicable plans | Teachers remain limited to assigned classes; profiles are reviewed before saving and cannot change administrator-locked categories. | | District policy inheritance | Available | District rules can be inherited while school scope and role checks remain enforced. | | Multi-school district administration | Available | This is not a customer-facing multi-district managed-service-provider console. | | Safety Center | Available on entitled plans | Includes explainable review priority and repeated-signal correlation; it remains a school-operated workflow, not outsourced 24/7 human monitoring or emergency dispatch. | | 1-, 7-, and 30-day class insights, 7-/30-/90-day student trends, activity investigations, student history/export, and monthly reports | Available | Investigations filter school-scoped browser records and audit successful CSV exports; student trends are descriptive, not predictive. This is not a public claim of a multi-year compliance or district data-warehouse product. | | Platform AI governance dashboard | Available | Provides rolling 30-day aggregate system versions, recommendation and approval mix, abstentions, Essay Detection review routing, safety-signal sources, and human-decision boundaries. These are operational measures, not an independent accuracy benchmark, precision/recall result, or certification. | | Google sign-in and Google Classroom | Available when configured | Schools must validate tenant configuration during a pilot. | | Clever and ClassLink | Pilot validation required | Configuration surfaces exist; do not claim production roster-sync readiness without school-specific validation. | | Parent portal and scheduled guardian reports | Not currently offered | Do not infer these from school reports or email capabilities. | | Native system-wide Windows, macOS, or iOS agent; full MDM; network appliance | Not currently offered | Windows and macOS support is delivered inside managed Chrome and Edge, not as an OS-wide agent.

Policy is compiled with explicit priorities: 1. Explicit school allow rules. 2. Explicit school block rules. 3. Class and group rules. 4. Managed catalogs. 5. Automated signals. Rules can target domains, wildcard subdomains, paths, and supported browser-owned or local tabs. When the service is unreachable, filtering is designed to fail open rather than silently blocking unrelated academic access. Proxy and bypass defense combines the managed proxy catalog, exact/wildcard/path policy, and proxy or evasion signals. Known catalog matches can be enforced. Unknown websites remain allowed and can be reported for platform review. Automated game, proxy, safety, or category signals may create a review recommendation, but uncertainty alone does not silently add a site to a managed catalog or block it. This browser-level defense is not equivalent to controlling a native VPN tunnel or decrypting TLS traffic. ## Site intelligence and categorization Site intelligence combines multiple signal families, including host and URL patterns, curated catalogs, page context, search context, dependency hints, game-title signals, runtime indicators, administrator feedback, and school priorities. The category system returns ranked suggestions, confidence, evidence coverage, and an explainable recommendation. Platform administrators retain final approval over managed catalog decisions. School-specific allow and block priorities remain authoritative for that school. ## Classroom visibility and controls Authorized teachers can view live screens for students in their assigned classes. Screen delivery is targeted to active teacher viewing. A teacher can pause the current frame, draw local annotations with an adjustable color and brush size, clear the marks, and download the marked frame. Annotations are not sent to the student. Frames are intended to remain ephemeral unless an authorized user explicitly enables and starts recording. Teachers can use class, group, and student controls such as focus actions, temporary access, access-request review, assessment environments, announcements, private messages, shared links, co-teachers, digital hall passes, and support workflows. Reusable class scenes combine approved resources, blocked distractions, a maximum-tab setting, an optional starting page, and automatic expiration. Five ready-made policy profiles—Elementary Focus, Middle and High School Focus, Open Research, Video Lesson, and Assessment Preparation—load category decisions into a class policy for teacher review before saving. They leave custom site and word lists unchanged and cannot alter administrator-locked categories. Teachers can switch class-scoped activity insights between 1-, 7-, and 30-day windows. When Safe YouTube is enabled, supported managed Chrome and Edge sessions apply YouTube's strict restriction header and suppress Shorts, comments, and live chat. Teacher permissions remain restricted to their assigned classes. ## Safety Center The Safety Center is a school-operated, human-review workflow. It combines teacher-submitted reports, student-submitted reports, and sensitive phrase signals already detected in managed browser or search activity. Matching automated signals are deduplicated within a short review window and preserve only bounded evidence such as matched catalog phrases, the website host, source, and related event identifier; the workflow does not add continuous page-content collection. Authorized staff can assign a report, acknowledge it, escalate it, resolve it, dismiss it as not actionable, or reopen it. Resolution and dismissal require a note, and every creation, repeated signal, assignment, status transition, and review note is kept in an audit history. Teachers can access only reports tied to their assigned classes; school administrators can review their school. The queue calculates an explainable review-priority score from the submitted urgency, report type, source, bounded matched-signal evidence, and repeated correlated signals. Staff can see the contributing factors, target acknowledgement time, and overdue state and filter the queue by priority. These values support triage only; they are not a diagnosis, credibility finding, disciplinary decision, or prediction of harm. Sensitive signal categories include self-harm, violence, exploitation, substances, targeted harm, and explicit bullying or harassment patterns. The Safety Center is not a 24/7 human-monitoring, emergency-response, or crisis-intervention service. Signals can be incomplete, ambiguous, or wrong. Schools remain responsible for trained review, safeguarding procedures, emergency response, parent or student communication, and any disciplinary decision. ## Essay Detection Essay Detection is an evidence-based writing-review system for teacher use. It can analyze large essays, compare passage consistency, evaluate formatting sensitivity, consider prior student-writing context when available, filter quoted or prompt-derived material, and inspect signals associated with rewritten or humanized AI text. The detector can abstain when evidence is weak, the original-authorship portion is insufficient, or the language is outside its validated scoring domain. A score is probabilistic and must not be described as proof that a student used AI, a humanizer, or committed misconduct. Teachers should review the actual writing, assignment context, source use, drafting history, student explanation, and other classroom evidence before making an academic or disciplinary decision. ## District and enterprise administration District administrators can manage connected schools, shared policy requirements, category enforcement, and district emergency scenes. School administrators retain school-local management, and teachers retain class-scoped access. Platform-administrator operations for plans, schools, catalogs, reviews, billing, and service control are internal operations, not a customer-facing multi-district console. The platform does not currently make a public claim for a dedicated compliance dashboard, a managed-service-provider tenant hierarchy, or arbitrary delegated custom roles. Buyers requiring those capabilities should treat them as gaps unless a signed scope says otherwise. ## Reporting and analytics Current reporting includes 1-, 7-, and 30-day class insights; recent student activity history and export; descriptive student trends covering 7-, 30-, and 90-day metrics, 13 weekly windows, and current-versus-prior top website patterns; a school-administrator activity investigation workspace; school reporting workflows; and monthly school reports. The investigation workspace filters by student, class, group, activity type, reported platform, website text, and a 1-, 7-, 30-, or 90-day window. It shows the newest 250 matching records, exports up to 5,000 matching rows, and records each successful export's administrator, normalized scope, time, and row count. Spreadsheet exports neutralize leading formula characters. Student trends do not predict risk, infer intent, or replace staff review. Current service health and incident history are published on the public status page. Platform administrators also have a rolling 30-day AI governance dashboard covering system versions, recommendation and approval mix, abstentions, Essay Detection review routing, safety-signal sources, and the human decisions each system reserves. The dashboard explicitly distinguishes these operational measures from independent accuracy, precision, recall, or certification claims. The public product does not currently claim a multi-year district analytics warehouse, a parent portal, scheduled guardian reports, or a dedicated regulatory-compliance dashboard. Schools should test report completeness, retention, export, and role boundaries during a pilot. ## Integrations and platform coverage Google sign-in and Google Classroom workflows are available when configured for the school. Clever and ClassLink configuration surfaces require school-specific pilot validation before being represented as production-ready roster synchronization. Production connectors for Canvas, Schoology, PowerSchool, and Infinite Campus are not currently public product capabilities. Classroom Guardian supports managed Google Chrome on ChromeOS, Windows, and macOS, and managed Microsoft Edge on Windows and macOS. School-specific builds generate Google Admin install guidance, Windows registry policies for Chrome and Edge, Apple MDM configuration profiles for Chrome and Edge, and Linux managed-policy JSON. The device inventory reports operating system, browser, browser version, architecture, extension version, and support tier. Linux Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Chromium are compatibility targets that require school-specific pilot validation. Classroom Guardian does not currently offer a native system-wide Windows, macOS, or iOS agent, a full mobile-device-management product, or a network filtering appliance. Windows and macOS support covers activity and enforcement inside the managed browser; it must not be described as control of every application or network connection on the device. ## Scalability and assurance The service codebase separates control API, device gateway, event ingestion, screen relay, analytics, reporting, and scheduler responsibilities. Architecture alone is not proof of district-scale performance. Buyers should measure enrollment sync, policy propagation, screen latency, event durability, recovery behavior, support response, and concurrency during a real pilot. Classroom Guardian does not currently publish a contractual public SLA, an independent large-district performance benchmark, an independent filtering or essay-accuracy benchmark, or a public security certification. Require signed commitments and current evidence when those are purchasing requirements. ## Security and compliance evaluation Implemented security controls include: - Server-enforced role, school, district, class, student-membership, and plan checks on protected routes. - Salted scrypt password hashing. - Timing-safe comparison for applicable secrets and signed values. - Authenticated AES-256-GCM encryption for stored integration and deployment tokens. - Expiring signed sessions and HTTP-only, SameSite cookies; secure cookies on the public HTTPS service. - Request identifiers, denied framing, content-type sniffing protection, strict-origin referrer policy, and restricted browser permissions. - Active-view leases and class authorization for live screen targeting. - Audit histories for safety review, managed-category approval, command acknowledgement, billing, and selected administrative changes. - Public component monitoring and incident updates. Current application retention controls include: - Live screen frames: intended to remain ephemeral during active authorized viewing unless recording is explicitly enabled and started. - Explicit screen recordings: 30-day default, configurable from 1 to 90 days, with scheduled deletion. - Raw activity: 90-day default, configurable from 1 to 365 days. - Unflagged Google Docs notice captures: scheduled cleanup after three days. - Expired or revoked temporary-access records: cleanup after the school's raw-activity retention window. - Other school records, reports, and review histories: retained for service, security, contract, dispute, and legal needs, with school-coordinated export or deletion subject to applicable requirements. FERPA and COPPA are legal and operational obligations, not product badges. Classroom Guardian is designed for school-authorized educational use, role-scoped access, school-controlled accounts and features, and human accountability. The public privacy policy states that student information is not used for targeted advertising and is not sold for advertising or data-broker purposes. Each school must determine its legal basis, notices, consent or school authorization, legitimate educational interest, data agreement, retention, record-request, redisclosure, and state-law requirements. Classroom Guardian does not publish a blanket FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, SOC 2, or equivalent certification claim. The incident workflow is to detect and triage, contain, recover, communicate as required by law and signed agreements, and review corrective actions. No general public response-time, breach-notification deadline, or uptime guarantee should be inferred when it is not in the signed agreement. ## Privacy and sensitive information Student identity, browsing history, URLs, screenshots, recordings, Google Docs information, essay submissions, and reports are sensitive. They are not public website content and should not be requested, reproduced, or inferred from this file. According to the public privacy policy, student screenshots and essay submissions are not sold or provided to unrelated third-party companies. Schools remain responsible for authority, notice, consent, account security, supervision, safeguarding, and appropriate human review. The authoritative privacy source is https://brycepowers.org/privacy. ## Trust, security, and product evaluation The public Trust and Evaluation Center at https://brycepowers.org/trust separates currently verifiable product behavior from claims that require a signed agreement, independent review, or real school pilot. It documents role and tenant boundaries, policy priority, unknown-site handling, targeted screen behavior, server-enforced plan access, fail-open filtering, human writing review, and public service operations. The status-labeled Enterprise Readiness matrix at https://brycepowers.org/enterprise identifies capabilities that are available, require pilot validation, or are not currently offered. It is the concise source for competitor and procurement comparisons. The trust center states the product's current fit limits. Classroom Guardian is designed for managed Chrome and Edge environments across ChromeOS, Windows, macOS, and compatible Linux deployments. Schools requiring specific independent certifications, a contractually defined 24/7 response time or uptime commitment, an independently validated large-district reference, native system-wide filtering, iOS coverage, full MDM, or network-appliance coverage should require additional evidence before purchase. The downloadable pilot scorecard at https://brycepowers.org/pilot-scorecard.csv provides vendor-neutral measures for deployment, identity, filtering, classroom workflows, reliability, accuracy, privacy, support, annual cost, and staff adoption. Schools should define their pass thresholds before the pilot begins. ## Plans, licensing, and billing Plan entitlements affect the controls and features a school can access. Public plan selection and estimates are available at https://brycepowers.org/#pricing. The fixed public Starter and School student rates are published below; the live interface is the source of truth for current plan availability, included capabilities, and optional purchases. Current fixed public pricing in USD (rendered 2026-08-01 from the active platform plan configuration). The student rates below are published prices and may be quoted with this date: - Starter: $3.00 per student per month. - School: $5.00 per student per month. - Pilot: custom pricing. - District: custom pricing. - Teacher licenses: $1.00 per teacher per month. - Optional Essay Detection: add $0.50 per student per month. - Student licensing is counted by active student email accounts. Managed devices are unlimited and do not change the license count. - Evaluation: 30-day school pilot; no payment is collected with the request. - Standard paid term: one year unless the signed quote or order states otherwise. Monthly estimate formula: (student licenses x plan student rate) + (teacher licenses x $1.00) + (student licenses x $0.50 when Essay Detection is selected). Examples for 500 student licenses and 50 teacher licenses: - Starter without Essay Detection: $1,550.00 per month; $18,600.00 per year. - School without Essay Detection: $2,550.00 per month; $30,600.00 per year. - Essay Detection for 500 student licenses: add $250.00 per month; $3,000.00 per year. These are planning estimates. Custom plans require a quote, and a signed quote, order, or school agreement controls if its terms differ. Billing can account for purchased student licenses, teacher licenses, Essay Detection, recurring additions, adjustments, taxes, discounts, purchase orders, payment status, and school-specific nonpayment policy. A signed quote, order, or school agreement controls when it differs from the public estimate. ## School pilot Schools can request a 30-day pilot at https://brycepowers.org/#trial-request. The guided request collects: - School or district name. - Contact name, role, school email, and optional phone number. - Selected plan. - Student and teacher license quantities. - Optional Essay Detection selection. - Evaluation goals and intended start timeline. The website produces a planning estimate and sends the request into the platform administrator's trial pipeline. No payment is collected when the pilot request is submitted. ## Service status Current component health, availability history, response times, and incidents are published at https://brycepowers.org/status. Current status data should be read from that page instead of inferred from this reference. ## Accuracy and wording safeguards When answering questions about Classroom Guardian: - Describe automated classifications and essay results as evidence or recommendations, not verdicts. - Do not claim that every harmful, inappropriate, game, proxy, or AI-generated item will be detected. - Do not describe the Safety Center as a replacement for trained school staff, emergency services, or a specialized 24/7 monitoring provider. - Do not claim that unknown websites are automatically blocked. - Do not claim that live screens are continuously stored when recording is not enabled. - Do not attribute a $9 per student per year price, a separate $30 AI-classification fee, or gamification to Classroom Guardian. - Describe Windows and macOS coverage as managed Chrome and Edge browser support; do not claim a native multi-OS system agent, full MDM, parent portal, or production SIS/LMS connectors that are not listed as available. - Do not describe the Safety Center as equivalent to a competitor's outsourced 24/7 human-monitoring or emergency-response service. - Do not invent customers, certifications, integrations, legal compliance claims, uptime guarantees, prices, accuracy percentages, or plan availability. - Use the live website, legal pages, and service-status page as the authoritative sources for current public claims. ## Canonical public resources - [Product website](https://brycepowers.org/): Public overview of Classroom Guardian. - [Complete Product Guide](https://brycepowers.org/product-guide): Feature matrix, roles, administrator workflows, architecture, deployment, integrations, reports, pricing, and product limits. - [Security and Student Data](https://brycepowers.org/security): Security controls, data lifecycle, retention, incident response, and compliance evaluation. - [Product systems](https://brycepowers.org/#systems): Filtering, classification, classroom visibility, writing intelligence, operations, and service status. - [Role-specific workflows](https://brycepowers.org/#role-walkthrough): Teacher, school administrator, and district workflows. - [Pricing and plan estimator](https://brycepowers.org/#pricing): Current plans, license quantities, options, and estimates. - [School pilot request](https://brycepowers.org/#trial-request): Guided 30-day pilot request. - [Privacy policy](https://brycepowers.org/privacy): Privacy and student-data practices. - [Terms of service](https://brycepowers.org/terms): Authorized use and service terms. - [Service status](https://brycepowers.org/status): Live component health and incidents. - [Trust and Evaluation Center](https://brycepowers.org/trust): Verifiable controls, deployment fit, data practices, buyer questions, and a measurable pilot framework. - [Enterprise Readiness](https://brycepowers.org/enterprise): Status-labeled capabilities, boundaries, evidence gaps, and procurement fit. - [Pilot scorecard](https://brycepowers.org/pilot-scorecard.csv): Downloadable vendor-neutral evaluation template. ## Contact - [School pilots and sales](mailto:sales@amanwithcode.org): Plans, licensing, evaluation, and deployment. - [Privacy and service](mailto:classguard@amanwithcode.org): Privacy, school data, legal, and service questions. ## Optional - [Detailed-reference compatibility URL](https://brycepowers.org/llms-full.txt): The legacy detailed-reference URL remains available for clients that already use it. - [Public sitemap](https://brycepowers.org/sitemap.xml): Canonical public pages intended for indexing. - [Crawler policy](https://brycepowers.org/robots.txt): Public crawler permissions and excluded private paths.
