Accessibility Statement
Batavia Public School District 101 is committed to accessible digital services under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II. Our web content and mobile apps are being brought into conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We also target WCAG 2.2 AA as our improvement benchmark.
Scope
This statement covers content on bps101.net and school subdomains. Third-party platforms we link to have their own policies. We review vendors for accessibility and request conformance information (such as VPATs).

Known Exceptions
Certain legacy documents, archived content, and third-party embedded tools may fall under limited exceptions. When an exception applies, we will provide an accessible alternative on request.
Our Standards and Testing

Documents: New and updated PDFs and office files will meet accessibility requirements; high-impact legacy documents are being remediated on a rolling basis.
-
Video/Audio: New public videos include captions; long-form or instructional media include transcripts. Audio-only content includes transcripts.
Procurement
Digital tools and content procured by the District are expected to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We request accessibility documentation (such as VPATs) and evaluate known gaps.
