Always confirm with relevant education departments and schools before making decisions.

3. Accounts and third-party login
Some features may require sign-in through third-party identity providers. You are responsible for maintaining your account security and for activity conducted through your account.
4. Data sources and availability
We use government/open datasets and third-party services where available. Coverage, freshness, boundaries, and service availability may vary by state/territory and can change without notice. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
