Skilly maps to the NYSED Social-Emotional Learning Benchmarks across the three state Goals, and builds in the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) and the §804 mental-health-education mandate. It runs in American English with K-12 terminology. Students write short reflections after each lesson; the AI drafts warm formative feedback and flags any concern; the teacher or counselor always has the final word. The result is the SEL and DASA evidence your school needs — generated, not assembled.

Pilot program — honest about where we are. The NYSED SEL mapping (three Goals, DASA, the §804 mandate) is complete and the platform runs fully in New York mode today — you can try it in the live demo below. We're onboarding a small number of pilot schools while we complete US data-residency and SOC 2 readiness and stand up per-school parental-consent flows. Join the pilot and shape it.
Built around New York's own mandates
The Skilly New York program
Each maps to shipped Skilly capability, running in New York mode today.
Grades PreK–12 · CASEL-aligned
Skilly's lessons are mapped to the NYSED SEL Benchmarks' three Goals — self-awareness/self-management, social awareness/relationships, and responsible decision-making — built on the CASEL 5. In New York mode the platform reads in US terms: SEL not SPHE, students not pupils, grades and grade bands.
Dignity Act Coordinator · counselor · SCR
Every reflection is AI-scanned for a concern the instant it's submitted. New York mode frames it correctly: the Dignity Act Coordinator (DASA) for harassment and bullying, the school counselor, state mandated-reporter law, referral to the Statewide Central Register (SCR), and the 988 Lifeline. A wellbeing journal that reads emotional state is gated behind recorded parental consent.
DASA incidents · board reporting
Every reflection counts toward your SEL and mental-health-education evidence. The AI School Summary writes the headline; per-class and school/district dashboards show engagement and the wellbeing picture; it all exports for board and state reporting. The teacher reads what each student actually wrote.
Central adoption · per-school environments
Adopt Skilly once across your district and every school runs its own ring-fenced environment — no data crosses between schools. One agreement, consistent SEL and DASA provision and a consistent evidence model across every building.
How districts fund it
🎒 Title IV-A & SEL funding
A structured SEL program supporting safe and healthy students sits within Title IV-A strategy. Skilly gives you the reflection data and evidence to show the spend working — and the DASA record to back it.
🏛️ General fund & mental-health lines
The §804 mandate makes mental-health education core provision. Skilly replaces scattered curricula with a single standards-mapped, evidenced program a district can run at scale.
Honestly: federal and state grant lines change year to year, so we don't build a pitch on a single one. Skilly is funded the way SEL and mental-health provision usually is — from general fund and Title lines.
