Seattle will take several steps to make the ed-tech used in its schools accessible to blind students, faculty, and parents, in the settlement of a lawsuit brought against the district by one Noel the National Federation of the Blind and her co-plaintiff, Nightingale. Signed last week, the landmark agreement comes after the National Federation of the Blind, a blind mother of three Seattle students, filed a lawsuit in 2014 because she did not have equal access to information on the district's websites and a mathematics program.
