[ATcoord] New Software Purchases...after March 31st.

[Rosalie Madison]

Good Afternoon,
How is everyone addressing this?
In reading (and re-reading) Policy #188, you can submit a waiver for
existing software that has be prioritized with corrective action plan.

I have been asked " What if (for educational purposes) software x is the
only one that meets all of the curriculum requirements. But it is not ADA
Compliant on its own. And there is no road map for development in the
future.

This does not mean the purchase of it is blocked, but that as coordinator;
 would submit a waiver for approval. - Correct?
Per:

   1.

   For each instance of non-compliance of a new covered technology
   <https://ocio.wa.gov/definition-terms-used-ocio-policies-and-reports#CovTech>
   [6], a waive
   <https://ocio.wa.gov/policies/policy-103-technology-policy-standards-waiver-request>r
   [7] must be requested and approved.
   1.

      The waiver request must include a corrective action plan for each
      area of noncompliance.
      1. The corrective action plan must describe the access barriers
         expected to result from the non- compliance, identify the information,
         activities and functions compromised by those access
barriers, and describe
         the steps the agency will implement to ensure that people
with disabilities
         will be afforded equivalent access to the information, activities and
         functions through alternative means of access.


What is the turn around time for this? This needs to be built into our
review and purchasing process.
