Web accessibility is no longer simply a technology or communications issue—it is an increasingly important compliance responsibility for school leaders. New federal requirements under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act establish WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the accessibility standard for web content and mobile applications provided by public entities, including schools. As compliance deadlines approach this spring, principals need to understand how these requirements extend beyond the district homepage to the digital content, documents, platforms and resources schools make available to students, families and the community. Join Thrun attorneys Erin Walz and Cathleen Dooley to unpack the requirements, clarify what they mean for Michigan schools and identify steps leaders can take now to strengthen accessibility and support ongoing compliance.
