Accessibility

What we aim for

The site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 at level AA. In practice that means:

• Everything works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator, and there is a "skip to main content" link at the top of every page.
• Pages are structured with landmarks and headings so screen-reader users can jump around them.
• Text and controls meet the contrast minimums in both light and dark mode. Colour is never the only way something is shown.
• Every tap target is at least 44 pixels tall. Text can be zoomed to 200% without losing content.
• Links to PDFs, recordings and other sites say so, so you know before you open one.
• Nothing moves or animates on its own, and motion is turned off entirely if your device asks for reduced motion.
• The site needs no JavaScript to read; scripts only add conveniences like the filters.
• No third-party trackers, fonts or scripts are loaded. Choosing a language in the Translate menu hands that page to Google Translate, and nothing reaches Google until you do.

Known limitations

• PDF documents. Most project documents are PDFs produced by the designer, the project manager, the MSBA or the district. Many are scanned drawings or slide decks that are not tagged for screen readers. If you need one in an accessible format, email [email protected] and say which document.
• Recordings on YouTube use automatic captions, which contain errors.
• Other languages. The site is written in English. Translate in the header offers Español, Português, Kreyòl ayisyen and العربية through Google's translation, and your browser can translate it too; both work well here because the text is real text, not pictures of text. It is machine translation, so it makes mistakes — names and committee terms especially — and documents stay in English. Interpretation for meetings can be arranged: see interpretation and accommodations.
• Search needs JavaScript. Every page can be read without it, but the search box cannot work without it. If scripts are turned off, browse from Meetings or the Document library instead.
