Section 504 is a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Section 504 provides: "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States . . . shall solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance . . . ."
To qualify for Section 504, a student must be determined to have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Each school in the District has a 504 Coordinator (the school's Guidance Counselor) who works with the School Team to address 504 referrals and accommodations.
This site provides information on how to access these services:
