ParentSquare does not enforce leave-based communication blackout periods, and administrators bypass it by calling personally.

- Flag admin override attempts with policy reminder popup
- Allow exception for true emergencies with principal approval workflow
- Provide audit log for compliance and HR
Target Users: K-12 school teachers and administrators using platforms like ParentSquare
Revenue Model: $3/mo per teacher seat, $10/mo per admin seat, or school-wide license at $500/year per school
