Section 504 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal civil rights law that protects students with disabilities from discrimination in any program or activity that receives federal funding, including our public schools. Under Section 504, no qualified student with a disability will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination under any district program or activity — including academic, nonacademic, and extracurricular services. While Section 504 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) both support students with disabilities, they differ in purpose. Section 504 focuses on preventing discrimination and ensuring equal access, while IDEA provides special education services for students who meet specific eligibility criteria under defined disability categories. Our district is committed to identifying and evaluating students who may qualify for protections under Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We ensure that every student with a disability receives a free and appropriate public education, as required by law. For more information about Section 504 services, eligibility, or how to request an evaluation, please contact your building coordinator. Document: Section 504 Procedural Safeguards
