Compliance status<\/h2>\n<p>This website is <strong>partially<\/strong> consistent with Section 10(1) of the L-BGG, subject to the exceptions listed below.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Non-accessible content<\/h2>\n<h3>a) Non-compliance with Section 10 (1) L-BGG<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>PDF and Office documents: Some <\/b>of the documents available for download are not accessible\u2014for example, they lack structure, alternative text, or a defined reading order; in the vocational school registration form, the form fields are not labeled. The documents are being revised gradually, with priority given to those related to registration and student admission. Upon request, we will provide you with the content in an accessible format. <\/li>\n<li><b>Podcast: <\/b>There is no transcript yet for the podcast episode \u201cPilotenfolge\u201d in the news item \u201cNEU: Der KSM Podcast!\u201d (in German). On request, we will send you the content as text.<\/li>\n<li><b>Video for the VR Project:<\/b> The video in the article \u201cVocational Training in the Digital Age\u201d does not have audio description. It contains only background music and no spoken dialogue; the on-screen text and visual content are described in text form directly below the video. Adding audio description retroactively would be disproportionately time-consuming for this short film.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>b) Content outside the scope<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Documents published before 23 September 2018 that are not required for active administrative procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Third-party content that the school neither funds nor develops and that is not under its control \u2013 for example, the embedded Spotify player in the podcast news item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3.
