Web Accessibility

The EUPISD Board of Education has established policy concerning Web Accessibility, Content, Apps and Services.

Complaints regarding accessibility of EUPISD website should be directed to the Web Accessibility Coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for investigating complaints of non-compliance and for referring non-compliant websites to the EUPISD Superintendent.

Such complaints should be filed in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the circumstances or event giving rise to the complaint so that such circumstance can be promptly addressed. Use of the internal complaint procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies, including the filing of a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.

Web Accessibility Grievance Procedure

  1. The Written Complaint should contain the following information so that the matter can be investigated and so that the Complainant can be promptly provided the information requested:
    1. The name and contact information for the person filing the complaint;
    2. A description of the information not available and/or a description of the accessibility problem; and
    3. A proposed solution.

  2. Upon receiving a complaint, the Web Accessibility Coordinator will conduct an impartial investigation and will respond to the complaint within five (5) business days.  The Web Accessibility Coordinator may issue a written notice extending for not more than ten (10) business days the period during which the District shall respond to the complaint. This complaint procedure contemplates an informal, but thorough investigation. If an individual cannot access information on the webpage, pending a resolution, the District will provide the requested information in an alternate format accessible within a reasonable period of time.

  3. If a satisfactory response is not received within five (5) business days or the ten (10) business day extension, the person should forward a copy of the complaint to the Superintendent, who (or his or her designee) will respond within ten (10) business days.

  4. If a satisfactory response is not received within ten (10) business days, the person may forward a copy of the complaint to the Board of Education. The Board will consider the complaint and respond within forty (40) calendar days.
