Welcome To Our Website Accessibility Grievance Procedure
Website Accessibility Policy
The Lynn Public School District is committed to providing information on its websites to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our websites by implementing current standards including the World Wide Web Consortium's WCAG 2.0 guidelines.
We are committed to compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504, and Title II so that students, parents, and members of the public with disabilities can independently acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same benefits and services within the same time-frame as those without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use; and that they are not excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination in any Lynn Public School District program, service, and activity delivered online.
Website Accessibility Concerns, Complaints, and Grievances
A student, parent, or member of the public who wishes to submit a formal complaint or grievance regarding a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504, or Title II related to the accessibility of any official Lynn Public School District website may do so directly to a school compliance officer or district webmaster.
