PSU Resources

Project timeline and strategic plan

This resource is designed to support the strategic planning efforts of PSU teams as they work to meet the ADA title II rule compliance start date within two or three years. This document provides a sample two-year and three-year phased project timeline:

  • Phase 1: Preparation and initial assessment
  • Phase 2: Planning and resource allocation
  • Phase 3: Implementation and remediation
  • Phase 4: Evaluation and continuous improvement

The strategic plan structure and timeline will vary across PSUs. This planning document is intended to provide an example timeline with goals, strategies, and tasks. (Make a forced copy of the Project timeline and strategic plan document.)

PSU self-assessment

This document provides a framework for Public School Units (PSUs) to evaluate their progress in improving digital accessibility. The rubric is designed for teams to assess accessibility awareness, team development, audits, and continuous improvement, and to track progress over time.

Digital content inventory and audit template (spreadsheet)

This spreadsheet is an optional support tool designed to assist Public School Units (PSUs) in auditing and planning for the remediation of inaccessible digital content. It includes separate tabs for different types of digital content: documents, web pages, videos, and procured solutions.

Columns in tabs to note

  • Whether content meets an exception to the ADA rule or requires review (Column A)
  • Impact of the content on stakeholders (Column B)
  • Effort needed for remediation (Column C)
  • These factors correlate to a priority ranking (1-6) to help PSUs effectively prioritize and plan for content review, audit, and remediation. (Column D)
  • Additional columns provide space for audit and remediation action steps
