<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Questions are floating around about the
<a href="https://ocio.wa.gov/policies/policy-188-accessibility?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery">
WaTech Policy 188</a> on Accessible Technology. It might be a good idea for you all to review
<a href="https://ocio.wa.gov/policies/101-technology-policies-and-standards">WaTech's Policy 101</a> about the scope of WaTech's technology policies in order to clarify your institution's relationship to WaTech. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In short, the new policy does impact SBCTC as an agency. Mark Jenkins and myself had a meeting with the author of WaTech's policy last week and are working with others in
our agency to better define the implications of this policy on the institutions and how we can leverage SBCTC's (more explicit) relationship with WaTech to access resources and services that result from this policy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Our best guide to how these policies apply to colleges is in
<a href="https://ocio.wa.gov/policies/101-technology-policies-and-standards">Policy 101</a>, but we'll continue to monitor how and where the policy is being applied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
