Summary
Marketing coordinator Debbie DeBeth told the board the Department of Justice extended the county’s digital accessibility compliance deadline to April 26, 2027, giving staff time to continue training, clean up website content and revisit procurement.
Debbie DeBeth, marketing coordinator, informed the board that the U.S. Department of Justice extended the county’s deadline to make digital communications accessible by one year; the new compliance date is April 26, 2027. DeBeth said the extension frees up staff hours and allows the county to be more intentional in training and content cleanup.
“We were originally going to have our digital communications accessible by, Thursday, 04/24/2026. It's now been extended a year, so our new deadline is 04/26/2027,” DeBeth said. She described ongoing staff training (64 staff identified for accessibility education), plans to audit and update website pages based on view frequency, and potential future conversations about RFPs and platform changes to improve accessibility.
