Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is designed to prohibit discrimination based on disability in any program or activity receiving Federal money. This statute obligates most public schools to provide equal access and equal opportunity to otherwise qualified persons with disabilities. It must be because of this disability that the student is unable to gain equal access and benefit from school programs and services.
If you believe that a student may be eligible for Section 504 support please contact your school’s principal or building 504 coordinator.
