Hello [School board chair's name],

My name is [Your name]. I teach at [School name]. I have a blind student which is in need of a reasonable accessibility accommodation. The online class sessions through Zoom has exposed a problem for my blind student. Any slide presentation I share using Zoom's screen share option has been inaccessible to their adaptive software, such as a screen reader or magnifier.

I've found a solution: an accessibility product which will display shared slide shows in WCAG2.1 compliant HTML.

The product is called, Scribe for Meetings.

Scribe for Meetings will allow my student to:
• Access content real-time within a shared slide show using a screen reader and magnifier.
• Convert class materials to several accessible formats including braille and large print.
• Independently review content at the same time as their classmates.
• Absorb material according to their learning style needs.
• Feel fully included in class.
• Participate equally with their peers.
• View the presentation material in sync with the rest of the class.
• Not be limited to only material covered audibly in class.
• Improve their quality of education.

For me, Scribe for Meetings will:
• Be a simple 5-minute upload.
• Remove one more barrier to making content accessible.
• Make the presentation available by pasting one link in chat.
• Prevent me from having to read redundant material out loud.
• Allow a smoother accessible flow of the class for all my students.

After you've had a chance to look at Scribe for Meetings, I would like to ask for agenda time to discuss this in more detail with the school board. Scribe for Meetings qualifies as a reasonable accessibility accommodation. It's also not cost prohibitive.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Respectfully,
[Your name]
