ADA-compliant school website services are a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have. K-12 districts, community colleges, and universities face stringent accessibility requirements under ADA Title II (public), Title III (private), Section 504, and state laws such as Illinois's IITAA. The DOJ's 2024 Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 Level AA with an April 2026 deadline for large public entities. School websites, learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle), student and parent portals, online enrollment forms, and lecture video must all be accessible to students, families, and staff with disabilities.
