Access for Individuals with Disabilities

District programs and facilities, viewed in their entirety, shall be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and any implementing standards and/or regulations. When structural changes to existing district facilities are needed to provide individuals with disabilities access to programs, services, activities, or facilities, the Superintendent or designee shall develop a transition plan that sets forth the steps for completing the changes.

The Superintendent or designee shall ensure that the district’s web and mobile applications comply with technical standards prescribed by law, and as necessary, shall provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services to afford individuals with disabilities equal opportunity to participate in or enjoy the benefits of a district services, programs , or activities. These aids and services may include, but are not limited to, qualified interpreters or readers, Communication Accessed Realtime Translation services, assistive listening devices, assistive technologies or other modifications to increase accessibility to district and school web sites, note takers, written materials, taped text, and Braille or large-print materials. Individuals with disabilities shall notify the Superintendent or principal if they have a disability that requires special assistance or services.

Persons requesting auxiliary aids and services shall make all reasonable efforts to give the District at least ten (10) business days' notice of the need for auxiliary aids and services by submitting a written request for such services to the ADA Coordinator.

The failure to provide the District with the (10) business days' notice of the needs for an auxiliary aid or service shall not, on its own, be just cause to deny such a request. In the event a request for auxiliary aids and services is submitted within less than (10) business days' notice, the District shall still make all reasonable efforts to furnish the appropriate auxiliary aids and services.

When the District receives a request for auxiliary aids and/or services for an individual with a disability at least ten (10) business days prior to needing the aid or services, the District shall respond in writing, unless the timing of the request precludes or renders a written response unnecessary, impractical, or unfeasible.

The district's ADA Coordinator shall receive and address requests for accommodation submitted by individuals with disabilities, and shall investigate and resolve complaints regarding their access to district programs, services, activities, or facilities.
