Getting Started with Website Compliance & Accessibility

Learn how to make your special district website compliant and accessible with Streamline’s Meetings, Transparency, and Accessibility dashboards. Simple tools, clear guidance, and expert support.

Last updated: August 2025

Why compliance matters

Every year, new regulations roll out requiring special districts to disclose and post a wide range of information—sometimes in very specific and technical ways. For many districts, this can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Streamline comes in. Our Meetings, Transparency, and Accessibility dashboards were designed to make it simple for districts to meet both state and federal requirements. These tools help ensure your website isn’t just functional, but fully compliant.

Before you launch your new site, arguably the most important step you’ll take is confirming compliance. This guide will walk you through what that means, how to get there, and how Streamline supports you along the way.

Compliance made simple

Though requirements vary from state to state, compliance for special district websites usually boils down to three key areas:

  1. Meetings & Agendas
    Upload agendas, notices, and minutes within the timeframe required by law in your state.
    👉 Learn how to use the Meetings dashboard

  2. Required Information & Documents
    Make sure all state-mandated postings (such as budgets, policies, and contact information) are published and easy to find.
    👉 Learn how to use the Transparency dashboard

  3. Accessibility
    Ensure your site and its content can be used by people with disabilities. We cover common accessibility issues and how to address them.
    👉 Read our accessibility best practices

Together, these three pillars form the foundation of a compliant, accessible, and community-friendly district website.
