Website Accessibility
In July of 2024, The Hillsboro School District launched a new web platform, Finalsite Composer. Used by over 8,000 schools worldwide, Finalsite is committed to ensuring that their platform is usable and accessible to users of all abilities.
Finalsite Composer is designed and developed in accordance with the internationally recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA as well as the Section 508 standards in the United States. Finalsite has a third party conduct regular audits of the user interface, code and design techniques to ensure that accessibility quality expectations are being met and maintained.
The Finalsite Composer platform approaches accessibility in the following ways:
- Template-based pages and apps provide consistent interactions and user experience across pages
- Allows clients to configure their templates while still remaining within the color contrast ratio
- Provides full support for keyboard navigation
- Text can be resized 200 percent without loss of content or functionality
- Contains page titles with the name of the workspace within which the user is working

Finalsite Composer has partnered with AudioEye, a website compliance monitoring product designed to produce compliance statistics and recommendations and is currently under review by the Hillsboro School District as a future add-on.
We have adopted a Voluntary Action Plan for Accessible Websites as recommended by the U.S. Dept. of Justice on 10/4/2018.
