Understanding the DOJ's Final Rule on Web Accessibility
The recent Department of Justice (DOJ) ruling mandates that school websites must be accessible to individuals with disabilities under the ADA. This includes adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards, such as providing alternative text for images, ensuring keyboard navigation compatibility, and incorporating accessible color contrast for text and background.
Key Deadlines and Consequences
Schools must achieve ADA compliance as soon as possible. While specific deadlines vary, the DOJ expects timely progress toward compliance. Failure to comply may result in penalties, loss of federal funding, and reputational risks.
