Conroe ISD is committed to ensuring that digital documents are accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities.

Applies to:

• Employee handbooks

• Student handbooks

• Course catalogs

• Forms and guides

• Public-facing PDFs and documents

When practical, information should be provided as:

• Accessible web pages (HTML), or

• Accessible PDF documents

• Large publications may remain in accessible PDF format when HTML conversion is not practical.

• Use proper heading hierarchy

• Maintain logical reading order

• Use tagged PDF structure

• Provide alt text for images, charts, and graphs

• Ensure descriptions convey meaning, not just appearance

• Meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast requirements

• Avoid conveying meaning using color alone

• Use descriptive link text

• Avoid raw URLs

• Include header rows

• Avoid merged cells where possible

• Ensure logical reading order

Some older documents may not fully meet accessibility standards.

When identified:

• Documents will be remediated when feasible, or

Staff are encouraged to follow accessibility best practices when creating documents in:

• Microsoft Word or PowerPoint

• Adobe Acrobat
