Section 504 is a civil rights statute, which was enacted to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disabilities.  A 504 plan is based on regulations developed under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A 504 plan outlines how a child’s specific needs are met with accommodations, modifications and other services. These measures aim to remove barriers to learning in the general education classroom.
​
Section 504 defines disability in very broad terms and does not list specific disabilities by name. Students who are not eligible for an IEP may qualify for a 504 plan. For any student that is an individual with disabilities, a public school must provide access to a free appropriate public education.

Parents/Guardians can contact your building principal or the Director of Special Services for additional information regarding Section 504.
