Preparing for the April 2026 ADA Title II Updates
In April 2026, updated federal requirements under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will take effect, significantly expanding digital accessibility expectations for K–12 public school districts. These updates reinforce an essential responsibility: ensuring that all communication platforms and content, including websites, documents, social media, video, and emergency communications, are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.
For school districts, this is more than a technical requirement. It’s about equity, access, and trust.
The Donovan Group’s work with districts across the country is grounded in the belief that accessibility should be embedded into communication from the start, not treated as a last-minute fix. As these new requirements approach, Donovan Group is helping districts move from awareness to action with a strategic, sustainable approach to ADA compliance and inclusive communication.
