Vendor Accessibility Compliance Email Template

Current federal digital accessibility mandates extend beyond your districts’ in-house digital platforms. All third party platforms, LMS portals, and interactive tools your district uses to communicate with students, families, or the public must also comply.

To strengthen compliance, school districts may collect VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) and, optionally, ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) documentation from all third party vendors providing digital services to them.

This email template can help district leaders initiate this documentation collection process. In concise terms, this template outlines:

• Context for new accessibility regulations, and their applicability to schools
• Requirements for compliance, including relevant standards
• Actions vendors must take to ensure compliance
