Built to These Principles
Accessibility Built In, Not Bolted On
Under the ADA Title II digital accessibility rule, the documents public schools publish need to work for everyone — including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or magnification. Fixing a document after the fact is slow; starting from an accessible template is easy.
Every template in this library already has the structure assistive technology depends on: real headings, table header rows, alt text, reading order, and document language. Staff just add content. Each release is verified with automated accessibility checks and a manual structural review, and each bundle ships with its verification report — plus a step-by-step screen-reader testing protocol in the Start Here Guide.
Branded for your district
Each bundle carries your district's letterhead, published Section 504/ADA contact, and board nondiscrimination statement — per-document fields stay marked in [brackets].
Plain language throughout
Family-facing templates include accessibility and language-help contact sections.
Verified every release
Automated checks and manual review every release, with the verification report in each bundle — and a screen-reader testing protocol for your district to run before adoption.
