Accessibility statement

Last updated July 2026

Okula Haven is built for public school districts, where an accessible website is not optional — it is a civil-rights obligation. Accessibility is a first-class requirement in how we design, build, and review this platform, not a feature we bolt on afterward.

Our commitment

We build Okula Haven and the district websites it publishes to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. That target reflects the standard referenced by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which apply to the districts we serve.

What we do

  • Semantic HTML with a logical heading structure, landmark regions, and a visible “skip to content” link on every page.
  • Full keyboard operability, with a clearly visible focus indicator on every interactive control.
  • Text and interface colors chosen to meet or exceed AA contrast ratios, in both our light and dark themes.
  • Labeled form fields, errors announced to assistive technology, and controls that expose their name, role, and state.
  • Respect for the operating-system “reduce motion” preference.
  • Required alt-text prompts and structured content blocks in the site editor, so the districts publishing on Okula are guided toward accessible pages by default.

Known limitations

We are honest about where we are not yet perfect. Districts publish their own content on Okula, and some of that content — uploaded PDFs, embedded third-party tools, and older documents migrated from a previous vendor — may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA until it is remediated. We provide tools and guidance to help districts fix this, but we cannot unilaterally guarantee the accessibility of content we did not author. Automated and manual testing is ongoing, and we treat newly discovered barriers as bugs to be fixed.

Report a barrier

If you encounter anything on Okula Haven or a district site it powers that is difficult to use with assistive technology, please tell us. We aim to acknowledge reports within two business days and will work with you directly to provide the information or service you need while we resolve the issue.

Email accessibility@okula.app with the page address, the barrier you ran into, and the browser and assistive technology you were using. You can also contact our team through the request form.
