Accessibility

Palm Bay Education Group, Inc. (PBEG) is committed to ensuring that our website and programs are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that all members of our community — students, families, and staff — deserve equal access to information and services.

Web Accessibility Standard

We aim for our website, palmbayschools.org, to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies.

We are actively working to improve accessibility across our site. If you encounter a barrier or have difficulty accessing any content, please let us know using the contact information below.

Accessibility Features on This Site

Our website includes an accessibility toolbar powered by UserWay. This tool provides options to adjust text size, contrast, spacing, and other display settings to improve readability. You can access it using the accessibility icon on the side of every page.

Our site also uses HTTPS encryption on all pages, is designed to work on mobile devices, and uses structured headings and labeled form fields to support screen reader navigation.

PBEG and its schools comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. We provide reasonable accommodations to qualified students and employees with disabilities.
