Website Accessibility, Feedback, and Privacy
Website Accessibility
Overview
Santa Clara Unified School District (SCUSD) is committed to providing information through its website to all members of the public, including those with disabilities.
Some users with or without disabilities may not be able to see, hear, or process some types of information; may have difficulty reading or understanding text; or may not be able to use a keyboard or mouse. Website design and compatibility with website readers and other technology can make the information on the website more accessible to everyone.
SCUSD continues to measure, review, and update its websites to ensure compliance with online content and functionality standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and reviewed and approved by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). These standards are called the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA and the Web Accessibility Initiative Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 for web content, which are incorporated by reference. The district also adheres to the relevant regulations for web accessibility per Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Most of the information provided on our websites are in HTML format. Longer documents are sometimes provided in PDF format. Additional resources to read a PDF document are available through Adobe Systems at its Accessibility Resource Center.
