Who this covers
Organizations we mean when we say education
Public districts and colleges carry the same ADA Title II obligations as other public agencies. See Government & Public Sector for procurement context.
K-12 school districts
Unified, elementary, and high school districts, county offices of education, and charter networks.
Community colleges
Community college districts and individual campuses.
Universities
Public and private four-year institutions, including departments, schools, and extension programs.
Education organizations
Foundations, education nonprofits, and workforce and training providers.
What you're up against
The problems we get hired to solve.
-
Accessibility is a legal requirement
Public districts and colleges must meet WCAG 2.1 AA under ADA Title II by April 2027 or April 2028 depending on size, and private institutions face Title III exposure. Legacy PDFs and third-party tools are the usual gaps.
-
Enrollment and reputation
Families and students compare options online first. Declining enrollment makes clear positioning and a strong web presence a budget issue, not a communications nicety.
-
Communication across languages and channels
Families expect timely, accessible information on their phones in their language. Fragmented tools and an inconsistent voice erode trust quickly.
-
Staff capacity
Front offices, registrars, and communications teams handle rising volume with flat headcount. AI can take real work off their plates when deployed carefully.
- Web & Application Development District, campus, and program websites with accessible design, easy content management, and family-friendly navigation.
- ADA & Accessibility Compliance WCAG 2.1 AA audits, remediation, and document accessibility for sites, portals, and learning content.
- AI Solutions Family communication assistants, enrollment and records workflows, and staff document automation.
- Paid Media & Advertising Enrollment, program, and event campaigns for districts, colleges, and continuing education.
- Branding & Design District and campus identities, enrollment materials, and community communications.
- Social Media Management Family and community channels with approval workflows and accessible content.
- Quality Assurance Testing across the devices students and families actually use, including older phones and Chromebooks.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with public school districts?
Yes. Palmdale School District is a New Block client. We understand board approval cycles, public procurement, and the accessibility obligations that apply to districts under ADA Title II.
Can you help our district or college meet ADA Title II?
Yes. We audit websites, portals, learning content, and PDFs against WCAG 2.1 AA, remediate templates and documents, and produce conformance documentation. Public entities serving 50,000 or more people have until April 26, 2027, and smaller entities have until April 26, 2028.
Do you build learning management systems?
Yes. We designed and built custom learning platforms for Suntory Global Spirits and REALM Global, including interactive modules, assessments, and certification tracking. We also integrate with existing LMS platforms when a custom build is not warranted.
Can you support enrollment marketing?
Yes. We run campaigns for enrollment, open houses, programs, and continuing education, targeted by geography and audience, with reporting on cost per inquiry or application.
How do you handle student data privacy?
We design around FERPA and California student privacy requirements, minimize the data any system touches, and review data handling with your IT and legal staff before anything launches.
