Can I disable the ability to delete/edit messages?

I'm trying to find a communication platform to use for our non-profit club ran in association with a school district. Our club (robotics) has both students and adult mentors from around the community. Previously we had used slack, but the district shut that down due to lack of transparency and reporting. District officials need to be able to retrieve all chat data from any user, and with that there needs to be a guarantee of data retention. Can an admin disable the ability for users to delete/edit their messages? I see here that it is possible to enable "history" via an admin, but that doesn't seem to prohibit deletion, is that correct?

Also, is it possible to disable DMs (ie. only allow members to communicate through Spaces, not through direct chats)?

Our district currently has Chat disabled for student emails, is this due to a Google policy to not allow minors to use that platform, or is this a district-based decision?
