Android Central reports that Google plans to let schools turn off AI features. According to this report, the condition is that schools must also give up Google Search.

Classification
If this condition is confirmed, it shows how strongly schools may have to tie their handling of AI features to other services. For educational institutions in Germany that are clarifying data protection and supervisory questions, this could mean that opting out of AI is not without consequences for other tools. It remains open whether this is a binding contractual condition or a recommendation.
