School districts manage thousands of documents that must meet ADA requirements. Learn what the upcoming deadlines mean and how K–12 teams are approaching document accessibility at scale.

As ADA compliance expectations become more clearly defined, many school districts are taking a closer look at document accessibility.
From board agendas and handbooks to forms and instructional materials, districts manage a large volume of documents that were never designed with accessibility in mind.

With upcoming compliance deadlines, understanding how ADA requirements apply to documents and what that means in practice, is becoming increasingly important for K–12 teams.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

What ADA compliance means for school documents
How the upcoming deadline impacts K–12 districts
Where districts are most at risk today
Why traditional remediation approaches are difficult to sustain
How schools are beginning to approach document accessibility at scale
