To meet this commitment, Recipient will develop a strategy for identifying and addressing inaccessible content and functionality for individuals with disabilities.

This strategy will address both existing content and functionality up to the effective date of this agreement, and new or updated online content or functionality that is published, developed, procured, or used after the effective date of this agreement. The strategy may include setting priorities for addressing online content and functionality by, for instance, placing a high priority on first making accessible: (1) site navigation and templates; (2) key information concerning matters such as registration, student records, school calendars, after school programs, codes of conduct, special education, transportation, grievance procedures related to discrimination allegations; (3) the most frequently visited pages on Recipient’s website that Recipient identifies; (4) portions of the website that are of high importance to students, employees, or applicants with disabilities; and (5) content and functionality about which Recipient has received complaints, or which has been flagged for accessibility problems by individual users. Nothing in this provision should be construed to mean that any content and functionality is not subject to the requirements of Section 504 and/or Title II.
