The CNYRIC's e-Communications team has been proactively informing the districts that participate in their website service about these concerns over the past several months.
"Two team members have attended a website compliance seminar to better understand the underlying issues, and we have created an Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Compliance Tip Sheet on our website that districts can use as a guide," said Assistant Director Rick Pollard.
The CNYRIC also supports a third party website analytics tool called SiteImprove. Among other functions, the application can be used to identify ADA violations that exist within district websites.
