Episode 62 of the Get Connected podcast welcomes Anne Caggiano, a lawyer on Blackbaud's legal team to discuss the current landscape of website accessibility litigation pertaining to Title III on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

- What are the potential implications for K–12 schools of the Camacho case where a blind resident of Brooklyn, N.Y., is suing 50 colleges and universities for ADA compliance?
- What is a reasonable expectation for schools to comply with the Web Accessibility Initiative (WC3)'s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)?
- What are the potential penalties for a school site that's found to be in violation of Title III?
- What should schools do to ensure their website meets today's compliance standards?
