Website Accessibility
The CDD strives to maintain a website that is both accessible to all visitors and compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) put forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The CDD is committed to ensuring accessibility of its website for students, parents, and members of the community with disabilities. All pages on the CDD website will conform to the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative’s (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA conformance, or updated equivalents of these guidelines.
The CDD is directed to establish procedures whereby members of the public may present a complaint regarding a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 and Title II related to the accessibility of any official District web presence which is developed by, maintained by, or offered through the District or third party vendors and open sources.
All existing web content produced by the CDD, and new, updated and existing web content provided by third-party developers, will conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA conformance, or updated equivalents. This Regulation applies to all new, updated, and existing web pages, as well as all web content produced or updated by the CDD or provided by third-party developers.
How we accomplish our goals
We recognize that accessibility and usability are not always possible in every area of the website or for those visitors using assistive technology and devices. The CDD conducts ongoing accessibility reviews of its website and remediates issues uncovered by these audits. Please be aware that our efforts are ongoing.

How we handle complaints and grievances
The complaint or grievance will be investigated by SchoolStatus Sites & Apps, the vendor providing the ADA compliant website, or another person designated by the CDD. The member of the public shall be contacted no later than five (5) working days following the date the website accessibility compliance coordinator receives the information. The procedures to be followed are:
- An investigation of the complaint shall be completed within fifteen (15) working days. Extension of the timeline may only be approved by the CDD.
- The investigator shall prepare a written report of the findings and conclusions within five (5) working days of the completion of the investigation.
- The investigator shall contact the Complainant upon conclusion of the investigation to discuss the findings and conclusions and actions to be taken as a result of the investigation.
- A record of each complaint and grievance made pursuant to the Governing Board Policy shall be maintained at the CDD office. The record shall include a copy of the complaint or grievance filed, report of findings from the investigation, and the disposition of the matter.
