As school districts across the nation prepare to meet the U.S. Department of Justice’s new ADA rule requiring digital content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 2026/2027, many California districts are taking proactive steps to ensure digital accessibility for all students, staff, and community members. A growing number of these districts have selected Guardian, the #1 K-12 Case Management Software in the United States, as their trusted platform for managing critical compliance workflows—especially those involving accessibility, equity, and student safety.

Guardian’s centralized, accessible platform is purpose-built for education and continues to lead the way in supporting departments such as Title IX, Bullying Prevention, ADA/504, Human Resources, and Public Safety. As digital reporting becomes a compliance imperative, Guardian’s commitment to accessibility ensures that all users—including those with disabilities—can easily report and manage incidents through an inclusive, WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned interface.

“Districts are not only looking for tools that help them comply with federal mandates—they're also seeking long-term partners that understand the K-12 landscape,” said David DiChristopher, Vice President of Sales at Guardian. “That’s where Guardian excels. We provide secure, configurable, and fully accessible solutions tailored to the unique challenges of educational institutions.”

Guardian remains SOC 2 Certified and continues to invest in its platform, with recent feature enhancements designed to improve user experience, streamline workflows, and deepen cross-departmental collaboration. These updates reaffirm Guardian’s leadership and ongoing commitment to innovation in the K-12 case management space.

With more California districts coming on board, Guardian is proud to support districts in building safer, more inclusive environments—while helping them stay ahead of the curve on critical compliance requirements.
