Section 504 Notification

If a student is found to be a “qualified disabled person” under Section 504, a Section 504 Plan is prepared and implemented in accordance with the regulations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.  The Section 504 Plan is designed to meet the individual educational needs of disabled students as adequately as the needs of non-disabled students and should be in adherence to provisions that include identification, evaluation, placement and notice. Implementation of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is one means of meeting this standard. If a student does not qualify for an IEP, they may qualify for a Section 504 Plan.
