Hicksville Public Schools is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all students, parents, staff, and community members, including individuals with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our district website and online resources are accessible to all.

Measures to Support Accessibility

To ensure accessibility across Hicksville Public Schools’ online platforms, we take the following measures:

• Integrate digital accessibility considerations into our web development, content creation, and publishing workflows.
• Provide continuous accessibility training for school webmasters, staff, and content contributors.
• Conduct regular accessibility evaluations using both automated testing tools and manual assistive technology reviews.
• Ensure third-party vendors providing digital tools to the district comply with accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve web accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

Hicksville Public Schools strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
