It's because the banner is an image with no alternative text. The alt
tag is there but it's empty, i.e. alt="". That's all they have to change
to make it visible to a screen-reader.

Dear List:
At the following website
http://www.waukesha.k12.wi.us/
it is supposed to show that the schools are closed. When I called the school,
the secretary saidthat at the top of the page was a banner with a picture;
when there is bad weather, the picture is replaced with a block of words
describing that the schools are closed. In this case, schools are closed today
and tomorrow. Is it because it is some kind of flash that window-eyes does not
read it? If the words are not moving, shouldn't window-eyes be able
to read it? Thanks for any clarification. Regards: Ted Larson
