Apps Script regional coverage has an education-specific limit
Google announced general availability of data-region support for Apps Script. Its availability table explicitly gives Education Standard and Plus in-region storage only; broader claims about regional runtime processing do not apply equally to those editions.
Why it matters for leaders
Cost: inventory scripts and owner accounts before changing controls. Service: test attendance, reporting and other scheduled jobs in a limited group. Risk: document storage and processing separately, including external endpoints. Adoption: give workflow owners a regression checklist and recovery plan.
Cost, service, risk & adoption
The September 16 release says Apps Script follows existing organizational data-location policies. It also warns that enabling the advanced Drive and Docs disablement control will disable non-regionalized Apps Script services beginning in September.
What the evidence cannot tell us
This is vendor documentation, not a compliance certification or a test of local scripts. Third-party services and custom logging need separate review. Edition-specific entitlements must be checked against the actual contract.
