Colorado Accessibility Standards

Accessibility Progress

In BV Schools, we are dedicated to ensuring our digital products and services are accessible to all students, staff, and community, regardless of ability. We acknowledge and understand the importance of providing equal access to information, communication, and educational resources.

To help us make the Buena Vista School District website positive for everyone, we have been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The Current Colorado Accessibility Standard is outlined by the Colorado Office of Information Technology. Because this standard will continue to evolve with new technologies and standards, web-based software shall comply with the WCAG 2.2 A and AA (or higher) standards by October 1, 2025.

With the passage of the new HB24-1454, the Current Colorado Accessibility Standard must be met by July 1, 2025, with all other deadlines still standing.

Efforts by our technology team to ensure the Buena Vista School District complies with the latest standards and best practices are routinely made in good faith. Content and templates are periodically evaluated using third-party software available from CommonLook.

Please know this is a work in progress. We are monitoring the website regularly and as we find accessibility issues are making corrections.

If you enjoyed using the Buena Vista School District website, or if you had trouble with any part of it, please get in touch. Because we encourage teachers, administrators, staff, and others to update and change their web-based content regularly in order to provide timely and accurate communication, accessibility issues will inevitably arise.
