The Norton Public School District is committed to making its website accessible to individuals with disabilities as required by law. The District is in the process of making sure its websites and content pages meet accessibility guidelines by using (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA standards. Any individual who is unable to access any material in the form presented on the District’s website because of a disability, should report this to the District. Norton Public Schools will then work towards providing access to such material if it can be made available in an alternative, more accessible format.

Individuals requesting alternative access to website content may send correspondence to NPSwebmaster@norton.k12.ma.us or to the following address:

NPS Webmaster
Norton Public Schools
64 West Main St
Norton, MA 02766

To assist the District in responding to the request, please indicate the nature of the accessibility concern, the web address of the requested material, your desired outcome or preferred format in which you want to receive the material, your name and contact information.

A student, parent or member of the public who wishes to submit a complaint or grievance regarding a violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act related to the accessibility of any official NPS District web presence that is developed by, maintained by, or offered through the District may complain directly to a school administrator, the District webmaster or the Civil Rights Coordinator.

The initial complaint or grievance should be made by emailing the Webmaster for Norton Public Schools NPSwebmaster@norton.k12.ma.us. However, a verbal complaint or grievance may also be made to any School or District administrator. When an administrator receives the information, they shall immediately inform the Director of Instructional Technology. Whether or not a formal complaint or grievance is made, once the District has been notified of inaccessible content, effective communication shall be provided as soon as possible to the reporting party to provide access to the information.
