Accessibility Policy Development

A district accessibility policy is currently being developed (August 2018)

Issues to consider:

• Who should be the district accessibility / 504 contact person listed on the website accessibility page and reporting issue form?
• Who is responsible for updating training information?
• What about training and upkeep for individual teacher websites?
• Can we add Skip Navigation coding to the new Google Sites?
• Who should collect and share accessibility tools for teachers and staff?

Recommendations for future:

• Work to correct color contrast issues
• Make sure videos used in classroom have closed captioning capability (feature length and shorter clips)
• Provide closed captioning and transcripts for videos added to the district YouTube Channel
• Provide information in both Word/Google Doc and PDF versions (such as LHS summer work). This will also help with translation of information also.
• Look into providing tagged versions of PDF documents (such as forms)
• Schedule regular website audits using an accessibility tool such as Webaim's WAVE
