Board pulls digital-accessibility and information-security policies for more work
Summary
Policies on digital content accessibility (reflecting DOJ Title II ADA rules) and information security were pulled from tonight's packet and will return to a future work session for clarification and legal review.
District staff presented a new digital content accessibility policy (7540.02) intended to reflect U.S. Department of Justice final rule provisions under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and explained accompanying legal notices. Several board members said the draft contains ambiguity about implementation and parental controls and asked that the policy return to a work session for more discussion.
Superintendent Sean said both the digital accessibility policy and the related information security policy (8305) will be pulled for revision and legal review, and reintroduced at a future work session. "This policy reflects US Department of Justice final rule provisions under Title II for Americans with Disability Act," he said while noting the complexity and the need for additional review.
Board members asked staff to provide clearer implementation guidance, including how parental controls and cybersecurity notifications will be handled, and to coordinate with legal counsel before the next appearance.
