Section 504 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination based upon disability. Section 504 is an anti-discrimination, civil rights statute that requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of the non-disabled are met. It requires that recipients of federal funds make their programs and activities accessible to all persons with disabilities. If you are a parent and would like more information about Section 504 support, contact your district's 504 Coordinator or building principal.
