What our crawl found on ballardschool.org
Counts from our October 7, 2026 crawl, which visited 50 pages. Our crawler found 90 public documents on ballardschool.org — an estimated 887 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
Documents by category
- Agendas & minutes49 · 54%
- Reports21 · 23%
- Other18 · 20%
- Policies2 · 2%
Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 54% of all documents. Packets published from the compliance date on have to be accessible, as do older ones residents still use to take part in a meeting or a process; older packets kept only for reference may fall under the rule's exceptions.
By file format
- PDF 89 · 99%
- Word (DOCX) 1 · 1%
Checked sample
4 of 50 passed(8%)
- Passed basic checks: 4
- Did not pass: 46
Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.
The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 90 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
62% scanned
A meaningful share of the collection is scanned paper. Those files need OCR to recover text before any accessibility tagging can happen, which raises per-page effort.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
This crawl found no forms.

What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
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.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.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.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 October 7, 2026: we fetched 50 pages from https://ballardschool.org/ and found 90 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: October 7, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2028
562 days is enough time to work through a backlog in stages, if the inventory starts now.
Where Ballard Elementary School District should start
Start with board minutes, enrollment and special-education forms: the documents families rely on.
Families need these files to enroll, request services and follow board decisions.
Smaller organizations often have no dedicated accessibility staff, so automating the first pass and saving people for review matters most.
Usually owned by the superintendent's office, communications and special education staff.

- Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
- Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
- Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
- Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions
When is Ballard Elementary School District's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2028. Ballard Elementary School District is in the 2028 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 Ballard Elementary School District's deadline set?
For an independent school district the rule uses the Census Bureau's Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates for the district, not its enrollment. That figure is 1,445 (2024 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates), below 50,000, so the later compliance date applies.
How many public documents does Ballard Elementary School District have?
Our crawl on October 7, 2026 fetched 50 pages from https://ballardschool.org/ and found 90 documents, an estimated 887 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Ballard Elementary School District's documents pass accessibility checks?
4 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (8%). That is a sample of the 90 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Ballard Elementary School District's documents?
Our directional estimate is $727 to $1,091 with DocoMatic: about 3,637 credits for 887 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Ballard Elementary School District fix first?
Start with board minutes, enrollment and special-education forms: the documents families rely on.
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.
