Promising Practices: Kentucky's Accessibility Policies and Practices at Work

Fayette County Public Schools

The Fayette County Public Schools have implemented Section 508 accessibility standards on all new web content throughout their entire district. Since all 53 schools in the district have websites and approximately half of their nearly 2,600 teachers have classroom websites, this is a monumental task. A number of these websites have now been brought into compliance with Section 508, and the district is in the process of forming an advisory group to make recommendations for ensuring widespread and uniform compliance for the entire system.

Fayette County Web Standards and accessibility compliance:

As of January 2004, all new Web sites developed for the Fayette County Public Schools will meet a minimum of these requirements:

• Valid HTML 4.01 transitional or XHTML 1.1 as determined by the W3C validator
• Valid CSS as determined by the W3C validator
• Accessible by the standards of Section 508 and WCAG 1.0 determined by the “Cynthia Says” validator
