CampusTip for the United States

One platform for the whole district, one DPA

For K–12 districts, schools, colleges and universities. Student records, attendance, academics, online assessments, transportation with live bus tracking, food services, library, billing, HR and payroll, health office, visitor safety and family communication, hosted in the US.

The challenge

What we hear from schools

  • Families juggle several apps and still call the transportation office to ask where the bus is.
  • Teachers lose instructional time to duplicate entry and to answering the same questions.
  • Leaders lack one view of attendance, transportation, food service and safety across schools.
  • Every extra vendor is another FERPA, COPPA and state-law exposure, another DPA to sign and another breach risk to manage.
  • Operations depend on paper: bus inspections, visitor logs and nurse visits that are hard to audit.

Built for you

Made for US districts and colleges

FERPA workflows

Directory opt-outs by category (including the military-recruiter opt-out), the record of disclosures (34 CFR 99.32), amendment requests with hearings, and rights transfer at 18.

Meal-benefit privacy

The register works out reimbursable meals, and free and reduced-price status is never shown on student-facing screens (USDA 7 CFR 245.8).

State biometric rules

Face recognition is optional and consent-based, follows Illinois, Texas and Washington rules automatically, and is blocked for New York schools.

School-bus operations

DVIR pre-trip and post-trip inspections that ground a bus on a critical failure, CDL and medical-card records, and stop-arm violations as fleet incidents.

OneRoster import

OneRoster 1.2 CSV, so rosters come straight from SIS platforms such as PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward and Aeries.

Report cards

Standards-based (K–5) or traditional letter grades with GPA (6–12), as signed PDFs.

Payroll with NACHA files

FLSA overtime rules, salary schedules with steps and lanes, two-person approval, NACHA ACH files and standard reports. State withholding built in for Kansas and Missouri; other states through a licensed payroll-tax engine connected at onboarding.

Identity your IT team expects

SSO with Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta, SCIM provisioning and MFA required for privileged roles (supporting GLBA Safeguards Rule expectations for higher education).

Fees and payments

  • Amounts in US dollars
  • Online payments with Stripe: cards and ACH Direct Debit
  • Card details are entered only on Stripe's own checkout
  • Payments by cash and check recorded at the front desk

Where your data lives

Hosted in a US data center, or in your data center or chosen US cloud region.
