Built for the paperwork Ohio law already requires.
Socrait is the voice-powered class companion that creates documentation directly from the teacher’s voice in a classroom and reduces a teacher's follow-up workload.
Socrait listens while teachers teach, collects what they say about each student, and turns it into the behavior data, parent communication, and classroom documentation that Ohio's PBIS, parent-notification, and special-education rules already require your staff to produce.
Equitable student support starts with consistent, accurate data. Socrait provides the means to create a positive classroom environment without adding more work to a teacher's day. Funded through the Ohio streams your district already manages.
All without recording.
Ohio's compliance stack
...and the paperwork behind it
Built for Ohio’s New AI Policy Requirements
Socrait helps Ohio schools implement responsible AI practices with built-in privacy, FERPA-compliant safeguards, and teacher oversight. No stored classroom audio. Teachers remain in control of all AI-generated content. Designed as a teacher operational tool, not a student shortcut, Socrait supports documentation, family communication, and reduced teacher workload within district AI guidelines.
Ohio doesn't have one teacher workload law.
It has a stack of them.
This cluster of obligations all land, in the end, on your teachers. None of these
obligations are the hard part. The hard part is what goes inside them: the specific, dated, teacher-observed
classroom evidence that makes a report defensible, an IEP useful, and a parent conversation grounded in what
actually happened.
That evidence lives in your teachers' heads until they have time to write it down, leading to incomplete,
inaccurate, or missing data. Socrait automatically creates the missing layer between what happened in class and
the documentation for it.
Systemwide PBIS, with data-based decision-making
Every Ohio district board is required to implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports on a system-wide basis. The statute explicitly allows the framework to focus on school-wide data systems for behavioral incidents, attendance, and academic progress — and on improving staff climate and culture.
Parent notification about student well-being
Districts must promptly notify parents of substantial changes in services or monitoring related to a student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being — and prohibit staff from encouraging students to withhold this information from parents.
Special education timelines
30 days to respond to an evaluation request. 60 days from consent to evaluation. 30 days from eligibility to the initial IEP. Parent copy within 30 days of the meeting. Progress reports as often as report cards. Annual review.
Socrait is the data collection layer your existing systems have been missing.
Press Stream when class starts
Your teacher taps once on their phone. That's the entire setup.
They teach like they always teach
Socrait listens to the teacher's voice — not the students. It catches the praises, the warnings, the redirections.
After class, the data is waiting
Dated, specific, classroom-level observations. Behavior patterns. Parent-ready language. Attendance.
Your SIS, your IEP system, and your PBIS platform don't go away. Socrait feeds them the consistent, ground-level data they've been starving for without adding another data-entry job to your teachers' week.
Ohio funding streams purchase Socrait
We've mapped Socrait to the live Ohio funding streams district leaders already manage. This is meant as a starting point for your federal programs director or treasurer, not as legal advice.
IDEA Part B
FFY26 OPEN NOWFFY26 application open for public review March 20 – May 20, 2026. Supports special-education services for ages 3–21. When Socrait supports documentation, progress monitoring, and parent communication for students with IEPs, it fits within IDEA's support-of-service framing. Talk to your special-education director about local allowability.
Title IV-A (SSAE)
BEST FITOhio's guidance explicitly allows Title IV-A to fund PBIS implementation, reducing exclusionary discipline, effective use of technology, family-engagement stipends, and data systems that supplement your SIS. Socrait fits multiple allowable categories.
Title II-A
IMPLEMENTATIONFunds supplemental activities that strengthen the quality and effectiveness of teachers and leaders. The natural use is professional learning and coaching around Socrait adoption.
Student Wellness + DPIA
RECURRINGOhio districts already use these funds for wraparound services, behavioral health, and family engagement. At least 50% must support mental/physical health services. Socrait supports the communication and documentation infrastructure behind these activities. Socrait supports the documentation and communication infrastructure that makes these funded activities work.
Title I-A
TITLE I SCHOOLSSchool-parent compact requirements and parent-engagement activities. Ohio's attendance and family-engagement guidance names Title I-A as a funding source for mental-health and counseling support, with Socrait supporting the communication workflow.
General Fund + grant alignment
LOCALMany Ohio districts fund workflow and staff-support tools through general fund lines aligned with strategic plan goals around retention, PBIS, and family engagement. Works for districts where federal programs routing is slow.
Why Ohio leadership is paying attention
The teacher attrition rate is rising and newly certified teachers are declining in Ohio. Teachers feeling overwhelmed by the workload is not an abstraction in Ohio. It shows up in turnover, in PBIS fidelity scores, in late IEP paperwork, in parent complaints that could have been prevented by a timely email, and in incidents that get under-documented because the teacher was already drowning.
Federal research has linked paperwork burden directly to teachers' intent to leave the profession. Ohio's own policy stack is one of the most specific in the country. The two facts meet in your buildings every day.
Socrait doesn't fix teacher retention. But it removes one of the specific, named sources of paperwork burden that Ohio law creates, and does it without adding more to a teacher’s day.

Socrait surfaces the dated, classroom-specific observations that make IEP progress reports actually describe a student and puts a real paper trail under the FBA/BIP conversations that Ohio's mandates require.Your existing IEP system, better fed with accurate, consistent data.
Socrait fits multiple live Ohio and federal funding streams as a documented, auditable use case. Get the detailed documentation that comes directly from the classroom experience.
Socrait gives teachers a way to document behavior, praises and warnings, and classroom experiences without losing instructional time. Socrait is a safety net, a trusted assistant, and a reason they don't have to stay late working after hours.
What teachers are saying about Socrait
Socrait just takes this mental load off me… it just has really made things a lot easier. I was using a lot of my brainpower throughout the day to correct these small behaviors. I didn't realize how much they were adding up.
It has helped with my stress levels knowing that I don't have to track it now — that actually takes a load off your mental, cognitive engine. I don't have to try and remember something.
I've shared Socrait with the other teachers. I'm hoping for them it helps alleviate that burnout, alleviate that frustration like it did with me... it worked last year when I was reaching my burnout point.

Bring your special-education director, a building principal, your federal programs director, and one teacher you trust. We'll run a live classroom demo, show you what ends up in the dashboard, walk through the Ohio funding map for your use case, and answer your IT director's questions before they ask.
