Commitment to accessibility
We want every visitor to be able to find what they need on this site, whatever device, browser, or assistive technology they use. Accessibility is part of how the site is built and reviewed, not a bolt-on.
Conformance status
This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. It is partially conformant: most of the site meets the standard, and the exceptions we know about are listed below. We do not claim full conformance, because parts of the site have not been tested against every success criterion.
We assess the site by self-evaluation with axe-core plus manual keyboard and mobile testing, and we take the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 as the applicable legal framework.
Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible:
- The Facebook page plugin and the Google map are third-party embeds — their accessibility is controlled by Facebook and Google. the same information is available on this site as text.
- Some photographs carry brief alternative text — the district is adding fuller descriptions. ongoing.

Measures we take
Steps we take to keep the site accessible:
- Semantic HTML with one page heading and a logical heading order.
- Text and interface colors checked against the contrast minimums.
- Every interactive control reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus style.
- Alternative text on images that carry meaning; decorative images marked as such.
- Automated accessibility testing on every build, plus manual keyboard checks before launch.
- Motion and animation kept minimal and reduced for visitors whose systems ask for that.
