  • OIT Rules Update
    • The Office of Information Technology (OIT) has adopted the new Technology Accessibility Rules. Official rules are here, and OIT’s plain language guide to the rules is here. The rules require districts to meet a certain standard of web accessibility on their websites and platforms by July 1, 2024. Additionally, districts must provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities who wish to access certain district information and technology. Finally, the rules include other requirements, including publishing a Technology Accessibility Statement on the district’s website. 

      Many resources are available to assist districts in complying with the new requirements:
