What our crawl found on csb-cde.ca.gov
Counts from our September 22, 2026 crawl, which visited 537 pages. Our crawler found 43 public documents on csb-cde.ca.gov — an estimated 622 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
Documents by category
- Other28 · 65%
- Reports8 · 19%
- Forms6 · 14%
- Policies1 · 2%
No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 65% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.
By file format
- PDF 25 · 58%
- Word (DOCX) 15 · 35%
- PowerPoint (PPTX) 3 · 7%
Checked sample
18 of 22 passed(82%)
- Passed basic checks: 18
- Did not pass: 4
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.
22 files is a small sample, so read the rate as a rough sign rather than a measurement. 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 make up 14% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

Files we checked on csb-cde.ca.gov
Links go to the files on csb-cde.ca.gov as we found them on September 22, 2026.
These are automated checks on a sample of files as published on September 22, 2026. They are not a legal compliance finding and don't cover reading order, alt-text quality or table structure. Something wrong? Ask for a correction or removal.

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

Frequently asked questions
When is California School for the Blind (State Special Schl)'s ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. California School for the Blind (State Special Schl) 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 California School for the Blind (State Special Schl)'s deadline set?
The Census Bureau calculates no population for California School for the Blind (State Special Schl) — it counts it as part of another government rather than a separate one. The rule then uses that government's population: 39,538,223 (State of California, 2020 Census). That is at or above 50,000, so the earlier compliance date applies.
How many public documents does California School for the Blind (State Special Schl) have?
Our crawl on September 22, 2026 fetched 537 pages from http://www.csb-cde.ca.gov/ and found 43 documents, an estimated 622 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of California School for the Blind (State Special Schl)'s documents pass accessibility checks?
18 of the 22 files we checked passed basic machine checks (82%). That is a sample of the 43 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix California School for the Blind (State Special Schl)'s documents?
Our directional estimate is $629 to $944 with DocoMatic: about 3,145 credits for 622 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should California School for the Blind (State Special Schl) 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.
