Accessibility Design Guidelines

• The standard font used throughout the site has been chosen to be easily legible.
• Wherever possible, we use live text instead of graphics for all relevant, useful, and important information to increase ease of access.
• Our website has been designed to dynamically adjust to your monitor resolution so that it is viewable using most devices.
• No information is exclusively conveyed using color. This doesn't mean that colors are not used to organize information; instead it means there are also other, non-color dependent ways of doing this. We utilize high contrast colors in order to increase readability and have based our color palette to be easily readable under most forms of color-blindness.
• All images and hyperlinks, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means when an image or hyperlink is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text.
• We have attempted specifically to comply with Section 508 referring to website accessibility standards.

Notice Under the Americans with Disabilities Act

Employment: The district does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Effective Communication: The district will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the district's programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.

Modifications to Policies and Procedures: The district will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all district programs, services, and activities.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a district program, service, or activity, should contact the front office of the building where the event will take place as soon as possible, but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.

The ADA does not require the district to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden. Complaints that a district program, service, or activity is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to:

Andrew Jackson, Superintendent Sunman-Dearborn Community Schools 1 Trojan Place, Suite B St. Leon, IN 47012 Or via our site's contact form.
