3405 -SERVICES FOR HANDICAPPED STUDENTS UNDER SECTION 504 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT
No child will be excluded from any educational program or be subject to discrimination because he is an "individual with a handicap," as the term is defined in The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Protected individuals include any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
3405.1 The Superintendent will appoint a Board employee to serve as coordinator for the provision of services under Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A Section 504 contact also shall be designated at each school to serve as a resource for parents/guardians and staff.
3405.2 Any student, or his parent/guardian, may file a grievance if they believe their rights under this policy or Section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 have been violated.
3405.3 The Superintendent shall establish procedures for implementation of this policy. These procedures shall be available through the Section 504 coordinator and the Section 504 contact at each school.
