ADA Section 508 Compliance
Government entities, including public schools and ISDs, are required to have all publicly available websites and documents accessible to those with disabilities as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Section 508.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 are more understandable guidelines for what is required to make a webpage or document ADA-accessible.

I would be more than happy to come present on this topic at your request.
