Oak & Orbit

When a student moves, gets sick, or life upends the school year, the learning thread can snap — records scatter, momentum dies, and kids slip through the cracks. Teachers and parents feel the loss most of all.

Oak & Orbit is a student learning-continuity platform, built as a flagship partnership with HCPS. If the district participates, the platform keeps a student's learning journey connected across school changes and disruptions — but only under terms HCPS and the Board approve, with student data protections worked out first. The city cannot control school data, period. FERPA compliance, AI-assessment rules, and data-ownership questions are settled in the legal package before any pilot — and the platform only grows beyond pilot if the evidence works and HCPS says yes. Conditional all the way down.

Education liaison / HCPS / T&I. County–State Partnership: Oak & Orbit requires an HCPS interlocal and Board agreement, including FERPA terms; the city cannot control school data, and the platform scales only with partner approval.
