AudioEye
Our district is committed to providing a fully accessible website and are currently in the process of redesigning our website to include improvements to ADA compliance and accessibility.
To help us with this work, we’ve partnered with AudioEye, a trusted accessibility solution that monitors our site, fixes common issues, and helps ensure users can navigate and engage more easily. AudioEye provides a set of tools that identify and fix accessibility issues while also offering assistive features that support diverse user needs. This partnership supports our belief that all students, families, and community members deserve equal access to information and meaningful communication.
This website is designed to introduce AudioEye and explain the accessibility tools available through the platform, so that students, families, staff, and community members can learn how to benefit from these features while navigating our district's web content.
