What our crawl found on santeesd.net

Counts from our September 27, 2026 crawl, which visited 16 pages. Our crawler found 1,979 public documents on santeesd.net — an estimated 62,014 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

Documents by category

  • Agendas & minutes1,855 · 94%
  • Policies107 · 5%
  • Other11 · <1%
  • Reports4 · <1%
  • Forms2 · <1%

Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 94% 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 1,979 · 100%

Checked sample

22 of 50 passed(44%)

  • Passed basic checks: 22
  • Did not pass: 28

The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.

The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 1,979 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

4% 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 (0%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

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. 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 27, 2026: we fetched 16 pages from https://www.santeesd.net/ and found 1,979 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 27, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2027

With 196 days left, start with the documents people use most and fix the rest in batches.

Where Santee 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.

At this size several departments publish documents, so name one owner per department and track progress in one place.

Usually owned by the superintendent's office, communications and special education staff.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic

$15,246 – $22,869

≈ 76,231 credits for 62,014 estimated pages

  • 63 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
  • 2,478 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
  • 59,473 standard pages at Level 1

This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.

What DocoMatic does

  • Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
  • 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 Santee School District's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. Santee School 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 Santee 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 63,981 (2024 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates), at or above 50,000, so the earlier compliance date applies.

How many public documents does Santee School District have?

Our crawl on September 27, 2026 fetched 16 pages from https://www.santeesd.net/ and found 1,979 documents, an estimated 62,014 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of Santee School District's documents pass accessibility checks?

22 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (44%). That is a sample of the 1,979 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix Santee School District's documents?

Our directional estimate is $15,246 to $22,869 with DocoMatic: about 76,231 credits for 62,014 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should Santee 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.
