Website accessibility for school districts (K–12)
District websites carry enrollment, meal programs, and family communication. Parents and students with disabilities are covered by ADA Title II — and much of a district's content lives in PDFs, which are frequently the biggest barrier.
The rule and the deadline
DOJ ADA Title II web rule · WCAG 2.1 AA
- April 26, 2027
- Population 50,000 or more
- April 26, 2028
- Under 50,000 & special districts
These dates are set by the U.S. Department of Justice's ADA Title II web accessibility rule. Higher-education institutions follow the tier for the population of the state or locality they serve. This is general information, not legal advice.
The pages that matter most
Accessibility isn't abstract — it's whether someone can complete the tasks they came to do. For school districts, we pay particular attention to the high-consequence pages:
- Enrollment and registration forms
- Meal-program and payment pages
- Family communication and calendars
- Policy and form PDFs
How we assess it
We assess a representative sample of your pages against WCAG 2.1 AA — automated testing plus structured human review — and send you a free, evidence-backed findings report. Automated testing detects roughly 57% of issues by volume; a reviewer checks the rest.
We don't use accessibility overlays, and we don't sell you a badge to make the problem look solved. You get a real report of what to fix. See the full methodology.
The first step is a findings report
Apply and a reviewer will send a free findings report — the specific issues on your pages, and what it would take to fix them.
