"LfDI expects schools to offer pupils alternatives to the MS365 #cloud service for #school operations by the summer vacations in 2022.
From the coming school year, the use of MS 365 at schools must be terminated or its data protection-compliant operation must be clearly demonstrated by the responsible schools."

The #GDPR protects EU citizens everywhere worldwide, and EU residents of any nationality. In practice an American (for example) living in the US can probably get away with using an EU address and mail a request from an EU post office. The recipient may just accept it w/out demanding proof of EU ties -- worth a try.
