- Our Story
We built K12 Plus because we were connected to it long before we built the software.
- IEP
- 504
- RTI/MTSS
- Built with educators
Student Support
Shared Teams
Program Clarity
In special programs, the people who care the most about students were spending the least time with them.
None of that was about a lack of effort. It was about tools that haven’t caught up with what schools are being asked to do.
- Our Beginning
K12 Plus is built by a team with deep roots in K–12 education. Some of us came from classrooms, campuses, and central office roles, while others came from building workforce management solutions that helped organizations handle complex, high-stakes work at scale. When we compared notes, we saw the same thing from three angles:
- Educators feeling buried in plans, meetings, and paperwork.
- Systems that would never fly in any other industry with this much responsibility.
- Limited visibility into whether students in special programs were consistently receiving the support outlined for them.
People first
Built around the work educators already do.
One story
More student context in one organized view.
Shared visibility
Less chasing. More clarity.
- Our History
Where We Came From
- Teaching, coaching, and leading in K–12 schools
- Running special programs and sitting in ARDs, 504 meetings, RTI meetings, and LPACs
- Building and scaling companies that manage complex workflows and compliance in other sectors
The education side of our team saw:
- IEPs in one platform, 504 in another, RTI/MTSS in spreadsheets, LPAC on paper or Google Forms
- Teachers with 30–40 separate plans and no easy way to see what actually mattered for tomorrow’s lesson
- Special programs staff spending evenings chasing signatures and rebuilding trackers
- Families handed complex documentation full of jargon when they just wanted to know, “What is the plan for my child and how is my child being cared for?”
The workforce management side of our team saw something else:
- Processes that would be considered mission-critical anywhere else running on binders and homegrown sheets
- No single source of truth for the people doing the work
- Risk and burnout that looked very familiar from other industries, just with much higher emotional stakes
On both sides, the conclusion was the same: this isn’t a people problem. It’s a systems problem.

Why We Built K12 Plus
We didn’t set out to build another point solution for one program. We asked a different question:
“What would it look like if every student in a special program could be seen clearly, in one place, by the people who support them?”
Answering that means:
01
02
03
04
05
Reporting that lets leaders spot issues early instead of waiting for an audit, complaint, or crisis

What We Believe
- Our Mission
What Unites Our Team
Our founders bring two different backgrounds to the same mission:
Education
Career educators who have lived the daily reality of special programs.
Operations
Career business and technical leaders who have built systems that keep complex organizations on track.
What they share is a deep respect for education and a particular commitment to students in special education and other special programs. K12 Plus is where those perspectives meet: a platform built with the heart of an educator and the operational discipline of people who have spent years fixing messy, high-stakes workflows.
- Our Drive
Where We’re Going
Today, K12 Plus helps districts bring IEP, 504, RTI/MTSS, and LPAC into one foundation so special programs teams can see the full picture for each student and act on it.
As we grow, we’ll keep three groups in focus:
Our mission is to champion every child’s ability to learn by creating thoughtful, accessible software for special education, freeing educators to focus on teaching and ensuring students are supported, seen, and never lost in the shuffle.
Students and families
Students and families, who deserve clear communication and follow-through
Teachers and support staff
Teachers and support staff, who need tools that fit into the day they already have
District and campus leaders
District and campus leaders, who carry responsibility for timelines, audits, staffing, and outcomes
