Rutherford Public Schools are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for individuals with disabilities. We use our best efforts to maintain and monitor our website in alignment with generally recognized digital accessibility standards (such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), ensuring compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Limitations and Exceptions
While we work diligently to maintain accessibility across our site, certain legacy assets and third-party integrations present technical challenges:
Legacy Scanned PDFs: Older historical archives, public records, and documentation may exist as scanned, image-based PDFs that lack the text structures necessary for screen readers. We are working to remediate high-priority forms and will provide alternative formats upon request.
External Third-Party Links: Our site links to external platforms, applications, or resources managed by third parties. Because we do not control these domains, we cannot guarantee their accessibility compliance, though we encourage our vendors to meet these standards.
Feedback and Reporting Issues
If you encounter any web accessibility barriers or find content unreachable with an assistive device, please contact webmaster@rutherfordschools.org with the specific URL, a description of the issue, and your contact information.
We will review your request promptly and work to provide the necessary information or accommodations in an alternative format.
