Accessibility

Yes. Employees need to be able to access all documents as well.

Direct communication that is individually sent doesn't fall under the law, but it is best practice to make sure it is accessible for each family.  Are they able to read it?

The district is working on a plan for this.

One possible solution is to put the information on website and share a link.

• Yes if you also use alt text. 

• QR codes are not recommended for electronic communication.

It is not a best practice to do this; it is still not accessible to everyone

• We are working with curriculum providers to make sure documents are accessible.

• You can include language in your emails that allows families to communicate with you if materials are not accessible.

“Lower Merion School District strives to make our online communications accessible to everyone by meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements. If you are unable to access any part of this communication, please reach out to me so that I can assist you.”

That depends.  Images still need to have Alt Text.  Fonts still need to be readable. You still need strong contrast.  

Canva has an Accessibility Checker tool built-in.  Look for the word Accessibility under the File menu.  It walks you through correcting any issues.

Weekly plans need to be accessible. Feel free to use the templates that are available directly below this question. There are two versions available.
