Known Issues & Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known issues. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

• Color Contrast: Some of our website's secondary color combinations may not yet fully meet the WCAG 2.2 AA contrast standards. We are in the process of reviewing and updating these to improve readability across the site.
• PDF Documents: Many of our archival records, such as yearbooks and documents, are provided as PDF files. We use automated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to make these documents searchable and accessible to screen readers. However, this automated process can include errors, particularly for older, typed, or hand-written materials. For the best experience, we recommend downloading the PDF and using dedicated PDF reader software.

Our Commitment

The Charlan District High School Archive is dedicated to providing a positive and accessible experience for all users. We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are continuously seeking solutions that will bring all areas of our site to the same level of overall web accessibility.
