PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The Florida Water and Soil Conservation Districts along with the Association of Florida Conservation Districts, is committed to ensuring accessibility of its website to people with disabilities. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our websites and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.

We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, age, race, color, national origin, gender, marital or parental status, or disability and complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.

In order to further our commitment to nondiscrimination, we continuously update the websites in order to ensure the site conforms to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA. Such guidelines detail best practices for ensuring assistive technology users can access the site. The guidelines also make the site more user-friendly for all people.

Due to integrations with external vendors, some areas within the site (most notably maps) remain beyond our control. Until the integration with these external vendors is resolved, we can only achieve a partial level of conformance according to WCAG.
