What are the implications of American with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
Access to resources must be equitable. Federal ADA requirements must be met for any new or renovated school library media facility to ensure that access to information resources and technology is provided to all persons. The facility must be accessible to handicapped persons. This space or class cannot cover or explain all of the provisions and ramifications of this legislation. New regulations and interpretations regularly appear. Title II and Title III sections of the 1990 ADA Act apply to school facilities and also be aware of the connections to Section 255 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
