Accessibility Statement

In BV Schools, we are dedicated to ensuring our digital products and services are accessible to all students, staff, and community, regardless of ability. We acknowledge and understand the importance of providing equal access to information, communication, and educational resources.

What We Are Doing

To help us make the Buena Vista School District website positive for everyone, we have been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The Current Colorado Accessibility Standard is outlined by the Colorado Office of Information Technology.

The district regularly utilizes the WAVE accessibility tool to make our web content more accessible.

To support digital accessibility, we are taking the following steps:

  • Following Standards: Aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

  • Improving Our Website: Regularly review and update web pages to correct issues like missing alt text, poor color contrast, or hard-to-navigate layouts.

  • Accessible Documents: Working to make PDFs, slides, and forms readable by screen readers and other assistive technology.

  • Staff Training: Staff will receive training on how to create accessible digital materials.

  • Careful Tool Selection: Check third-party websites and learning tools for accessibility use.
