Our Commitment

Our Accessibility Commitment

Avoyelles Parish Schools strives to make its website and digital content accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

We work toward conformance with current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and applicable accessibility requirements, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As our district website is reviewed and redesigned, we continue to identify and correct barriers that may make information difficult for some visitors to access or use.

Understanding Accessibility

What Is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility means designing websites, documents, videos, online tools, and other digital content so that people with disabilities can independently access, understand, navigate, and interact with them.

Our Practices

Building a More Accessible Website

As Avoyelles Parish Schools continues improving its website and digital resources, we are working to support accessibility through practices such as:

Providing meaningful alternative text for important images
Using headings and page structure that assist navigation
Maintaining readable text and sufficient color contrast
Providing descriptive links instead of vague phrases such as “click here”
Supporting keyboard navigation
Adding captions or transcripts to multimedia when appropriate
Improving the accessibility of PDFs and other documents
Using clear, understandable language and page organization
Regularly reviewing website content for accessibility concerns
