What our crawl found on kccd.edu

Counts from our September 17, 2026 crawl, which visited 237 pages. Our crawler found 1,995 public documents on kccd.edu — an estimated 12,296 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

The crawl stopped at its document and time limits, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

Documents by category

  • Policies857 · 43%
  • Other670 · 34%
  • Reports413 · 21%
  • Forms40 · 2%
  • Agendas & minutes15 · 1%

Policies and administrative rules make up the largest share of this inventory (43%). These are long-lived reference documents, so fixing them once pays off for years.

By file format

  • PDF 1,986 · 100%
  • Excel (XLSX) 5 · 0%
  • Word (DOCX) 4 · 0%

Checked sample

26 of 33 passed(79%)

  • Passed basic checks: 26
  • Did not pass: 7

Many of the checked files pass the basic checks. Passing them is not full conformance: reading order, alt text quality and table structure still need a person or a deeper check.

The rate covers the 33 files we checked, not all 1,995 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

0% scanned

Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.

Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.

Forms are a small part of this inventory (2%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish Kern Community College District's documents. The file-level inventory, including which documents failed which checks, is available only to verified staff of Kern Community College District after claiming this page.

How we measured this

  1. 1.Crawl

    We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.

  2. 2.Classify

    Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.

  3. 3.Check a sample

    We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.

  4. 4.Publish only with evidence

    Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.

Limits of this method

  • We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
  • Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
  • Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
  • Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
  • Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.

This page's evidence

  • Crawled September 17, 2026: we fetched 237 pages from https://www.kccd.edu/ and found 1,998 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 33 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 17, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Frequently asked questions

When is Kern Community College District's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. Kern Community College District is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).

How was Kern Community College District's deadline set?

We could not confirm which population figure the rule gives Kern Community College District. The Census Bureau counts a community college district as an independent school district government, and the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates publish no figure for one — so we show the earlier date as the safer planning assumption. Confirm your cohort before you plan around it.

How many public documents does Kern Community College District have?

Our crawl on September 17, 2026 fetched 237 pages from https://www.kccd.edu/ and found at least 1,995 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 12,296 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of Kern Community College District's documents pass accessibility checks?

26 of the 33 files we checked passed basic machine checks (79%). That is a sample of the 1,995 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix Kern Community College District's documents?

Our directional estimate is $3,892.00 to $5,838.00 with DocoMatic: about 19,459 credits for 12,296 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should Kern Community College District fix first?

Start with what current students need: syllabi, admissions, registration and financial aid forms.

Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?

Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
