 Technology Accessibility Statement Requirement
Per House Bill 21-1110, all Colorado government websites must publish a technology accessibility statement that provides two (2) methods of contact to request assistance.
Best practice recommendations are to have a link that is prominently displayed, either at the top of the website or in the footer, which displays on every page and directs viewers to a page with that statement.

May 27: Future of AI Data Analytics in Colorado by Doowii
Colorado districts generate incredible amounts of data needed for daily decision-making, but it's stuck in dozens of systems that don't talk to each other.
DPS and Aurora are using Doowii to connect SIS, LMS, assessment, and operational systems into a single governed platform that delivers AI-powered analytics to their district leaders, teachers, and support staff without internal data engineering.
Doowii will cover what that means for early warning alerts across attendance and academics, holistic-student views, and board-ready metrics with consistent definitions across every building. Register to attend the Future of AI Data Analytics Webinar!
