Section 504

Programs for Students with Disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 Section 504 | U.S. Department of Education https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/individuals-disabilities/section-504

Section 504 covers qualified students with disabilities who attend schools receiving federal financial assistance. To be protected under Section 504, a student must be determined to: 

1. Have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;
2. Have a record of such an impairment; or
3. Be regarded as having such an impairment. 

Section 504 requires that school districts provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to qualified students in their jurisdictions who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Nenahnezad Community School has the responsibility to provide accommodation and services to eligible individuals with disabilities. The school acknowledges its responsibility under Section 504 to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel and students. No discrimination against any person with a disability shall knowingly be permitted in any program or practice in the school.
