504

The purpose of Section 504 is to ensure that students with disabilities are not denied access to educational facilities, programs, and opportunities on the basis of their disability.

For a student to have a disability which may be protected under the Section 504 law, he or she must:

(1) have a mental or physical impairment, (2) which substantially limits, (3) one or more major life activities. For a student to be considered an "eligible student" under Section 504, all three criteria must be fulfilled.

For assistance with either physical or health-related accommodations, please contact the building principal or counselor for additional information.

For more information about Section 504, contact Sarah Hammer - District 504 Coordinator at 269-795-5571.
