Newark Charter School: Digital Accessibility Statement
Newark Charter School is committed to ensuring the accessibility of its website for all students, parents, and members of the community, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an inclusive digital environment that reflects our dedication to excellence and equity.
Our Standards and Commitment
Newark Charter School aims to make every effort to conform to the W3C WAI’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA conformance standards, or updated equivalents.
In addition to these technical guidelines, we are committed to complying with:
Section 504 and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: Ensuring that individuals with disabilities can independently acquire the same information and enjoy the same services as those without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use.
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): As a public entity, Newark Charter School adheres to Title II requirements, which mandate that all programs, activities, and services—including those delivered online—must be accessible to people with disabilities. This ensures that no individual is excluded from participation or subjected to discrimination due to inaccessible digital platforms.
Ongoing Efforts and Maintenance
We strive to maintain these standards on an ongoing basis, applying them to all new web content produced, published, or updated by the school. Our team consistently tests the site to identify potential barriers and improve the user experience for all visitors. Any non-conforming web pages identified will be corrected and brought into compliance in a timely manner.
