The Ithaca City School District (ICSD) is committed to ensuring accessibility for all members of our community regardless of ability or method of access. We strive to make our website accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

Our website is designed to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Levels A and AA, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines ensure that content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

The ICSD website includes the following features:

• Keyboard Navigation: Our site is fully navigable using a keyboard.

• Alternative Text: Images on our website include descriptive alternative text.

• Contrast and Readability: We use high-contrast color schemes and legible fonts to enhance readability.

• Multimedia Accessibility: Videos include captions, and other multimedia content is accompanied by text alternatives.

The majority of pages on the ICSD site are available in HTML format that screen readers can decipher. Some documents are in Adobe PDF format, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can download it for free from the Adobe website.

Additionally, most popular browsers contain built-in accessibility tools and features:

• Google Accessibility for Chrome Browser

• Microsoft Accessibility for Internet Explorer Browser

• Accessibility Information for Firefox Browser

We are continually improving the accessibility of our website by conducting regular audits and updates. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to maintaining and improving access for all users.
