For K-12 schools, districts & higher ed offices
E-signature for schools: enrollment, consent forms, and FERPA-aware records release
Front offices spend the first weeks of every term chasing paper permission slips, enrollment packets, and records-release forms. ClinReady Sign lets guardians sign from a phone and gives the school an audit trail for every consent on file.
How teams use it
Enrollment & registration
Student and guardian details, program selected, attendance policy, and tuition acceptance assembled into one packet at enrollment.
Consent & permission forms
Field trip permission, photo/media release, and technology acceptable-use forms signed by a guardian in minutes, not sent home in a backpack.
Health & safety consent
Emergency medical consent, athletics participation and assumption of risk, and concussion protocol acknowledgment.
Special education & records
IEP evaluation consent and FERPA directory-information or records-release forms with a documented chain of consent.
Paper form capture
Photograph a signed paper permission slip; AI de-skews, orders, and OCRs the pages into a clean, searchable PDF you can download. Included on every plan.
Audit-ready evidence
Every envelope carries a SHA-256 hash, a certificate of completion, and an exportable, timestamped audit trail.

Signing and audit trail, not a certification claim
Every guardian consent and records-release form produces a SHA-256 document hash, certificate of completion, and exportable audit trail — the paper trail districts need if a consent is ever questioned. We do not hold a FERPA, HIPAA, or SOC 2 certification and don't claim to. Read the full compliance posture.
Frequently asked questions
Is ClinReady Sign FERPA compliant for schools?
ClinReady Sign provides FERPA-oriented controls — tenant isolation, encrypted private storage, role-based access, and full audit logging — for records-release and directory-information consent forms. We do not hold a FERPA, HIPAA, or SOC 2 certification and say so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
Can parents and guardians sign from a phone?
Yes. A guardian opens a link, reviews the form (field trip permission, photo release, IEP consent), and signs with ESIGN/UETA consent. No account or app install is required to sign.
Does it handle special education consent forms?
Yes. The Special Education Evaluation & IEP Consent template captures parental consent to evaluate, procedural safeguards receipt, and IEP meeting participation, with the same audit trail as every other envelope.
What does it cost for a school or small district?
Every plan starts with a 14-day trial — 1 user, 25 signature requests and 15 scanner pages, no card to start; a card is required to continue after day 14. Most single-site schools run Professional at $49/month for 5 users; districts with more front-office staff typically move to Business at $129/month for 10 users ($14 per extra user).
