    Schools, kindergartens, and nurseries are posting information about contingency and emergency plans, including updated schedules and contacts, on their homepages. Please make these accessible to students, parents, and other family members with disabilities!

    Article 1.5 of the Web Accessibility Directive allowing Member States to exclude websites and apps from being accessible to persons with disabilities
