Summary
55 additional school systems across 20 states are getting ChatGPT for Teachers, extending the program to more than 100,000 more educators and staff.
OpenAI said the expansion lifts its K-12 reach to more than 100 organizations in 30 states, with free access and training now covering over 300,000 educators and staff through June 2028.
A 16-state National Data Privacy Agreement is launching alongside the rollout, giving districts a common framework to vet the tool without negotiating separate contracts; California is covered under a separate deal.
1.9 million educator messages from Jan. 1 to July 16 focused on time-saving tasks such as report cards, lesson planning and substitute materials, underscoring OpenAI's pitch that AI should support teachers rather than replace classroom judgment.
