A final decision will be made by the Section 504 team in writing. The parent of the child shall be notified of the Section 504 procedural safeguards available to them, including the right to an impartial hearing and review pursuant to Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 104.36. Plan for Services The Section 504 team will complete a service plan document that describes the disability and the modifications as well as related aids or supports needed. The plan will specify how the interventions will be provided and by whom. All staff who work with the child in the school will be informed of the Section 504 plan. A child with a disability requiring interventions in accordance with Section 504 shall be placed in the general education environment with the use of supplementary aids and services unless it is demonstrated that such placement cannot be achieved satisfactorily. Children with disabilities shall be educated with those who are not disabled to the maximum extent appropriate to the individual needs of the child. Review of Student Progress The Section 504 team will coordinate the monitoring of the child’s progress as well as the effectiveness of the service plan annually. Prior to any subsequent significant change in placement, a comprehensive reevaluation of the child’s needs will be conducted. If the Section 504 plan for services is implemented and then found to be ineffective, the child should then be assessed for IDEA eligibility. Procedural Safeguards The parents shall be notified in writing of all Charter LEA decisions concerning the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of children pursuant to Section 504. The parent shall have the right to request an impartial Section 504 Administrative Hearing with opportunity for participation by the parent and their counsel. Section B – Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Barriers to employment, transportation, public accommodations, public services, and telecommunications have imposed staggering economic and social costs on American society and have undermined well-intentioned efforts to educate, rehabilitate, and employ individuals with disabilities. By breaking down these barriers, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enables society to benefit from the skills and talents of individuals with disabilities, will allow all to gain from their increased purchasing power and ability to use it, and will lead to fuller, more productive lives for all Americans. The Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local services, and telecommunications. It is divided into five titles:
