To inform administrative offices of an overview training for department website webmasters regarding Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) website compliance guidelines.


  • A memorandum (Memo # 021) was sent to all administrative offices from Eugene P. Baker, Chief Information Officer, outlining the requirements needed to insure websites are ADA accessible.
  • Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all District websites must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. As a result, District websites must be transitioned to an ADA accessible format as soon as possible but no later than August 2021.  District offices are strongly encouraged to expedite their transition to full compliance. In order to assist in the facilitation of this process, three (3) options are being made available to District offices and are detailed below. 
  • As stated in Memo # 021, an overview is being provided to inform district departments of steps that can be taken to make their website ADA accessible. (See attached)
  • District department website webmasters must attend the overview. An alternate cannot attend.
