Accessibility Statement

We want everyone who visits Bulloch County Schools' district and school websites to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding.

Our websites are powered by Finalsite, which offers built-in accessibility tools for school websites and integration with AudioEye, an industry-leading Accessibility Compliance Technology. These tools are designed to help us reduce barriers to content for visitors with disabilities by implementing requirements that allow an inclusive, accessible online experience for users with assistive technology.

Our websites incorporate federally mandated Section 508 compliance standards and best practices recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) (Level AA) for web accessibility. Some of these practices include:

What are we doing?

To help us make our websites a positive place for everyone, they have been designed to comply with Section 508 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA).

We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for our website. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

How are we doing?

We've worked hard on this website to achieve our goal of Level AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this, but if you do find any problems, please get in touch. If you use assistive technology such as a screen reader and the format of any information on our website interferes with your ability to access it, please let us know. In order to successfully address your concern, please include the web page in question, the nature of your accessibility problem, the preferred format in which to access the content as well as your contact information.
