Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the Missouri Association of Counties (MAC), there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
Known limitations for the Missouri Association of Counties (MAC):
Squarespace Default Calendar: Invalid ARIA Label because it cannot be resolved, as this is a Squarespace Platform issue. We are working toward a script override to correct the issue.
The flagged aria-label attribute on div#movie_player is injected by YouTube's embedded player and resides within a cross-origin iframe. This element is outside the control of the page author. The containing <iframe> element has been given a descriptive title attribute per WCAG Technique H64, which satisfies the accessible name requirement for embedded content at the page level. Full remediation of the inner player DOM requires action by YouTube/Google.
Formal Complaints
If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you may contact the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division or the U.S. Access Board for further assistance.

A Note on Ongoing Accessibility
Web accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time achievement. Websites change continuously — new content is added, platforms are updated, and third-party tools evolve — which means that complete conformance at any given moment is not always fully achievable. What matters most is that accessibility is treated as a genuine, sustained priority: remediating known issues promptly, building accessible practices into everyday content work, and responding openly to feedback from users with disabilities. That is the commitment the Missouri Association of Counties is making through this audit and the remediation work that follows.
