Web Accessibility Design

To be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the District webpages need to be web accessible. This refers to the inclusive practices of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG2.0) define how to make the web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Here are some tips to help you design and update your School / Department / Teacher websites to be web accessible.
