WCAG 2.1 AA: What Ed Companies Need to Know Before April 2027

Accessibility compliance is not a district problem that vendors can watch from the sidelines. The operative standard is WCAG 2.1 AA under the DOJ’s ADA Title II rule, with compliance deadlines now set for April 2027 for larger public entities and April 2028 for smaller ones. But vendor contracts, procurement requirements, and data privacy agreements are already reflecting these standards today.

Join RYE Collective and guest expert Chris Schuster, Esq., for a 60-minute live session covering where the rules stand now, why they apply to vendor-provided content, how districts are likely to treat student-facing versus teacher-facing elements differently, and what realistic litigation and contract risks look like for ed companies. We will also touch on the HHS Section 504 rule and the state laws that kept their original timelines.
