Identification and Referral Procedures Children who, because of a disability, need or who are believed to need Section 504 support, special education, or related services in order to receive a Free Appropriate Public Education may be referred by a parent, teacher, other certificated school personnel, or community agency. This referral is submitted to the Charter LEA Section 504 team for consideration. The Section 504 team will review the child’s school history, individual needs, the meaning of evaluation data, and the modification options as well as academic, and social and behavioral records to determine if an evaluation under Section 504 or IDEA is appropriate. If a request for evaluation is denied, the parent shall be informed in writing of this decision as well as provided information regarding their procedural rights to appeal. Evaluation of the Child Evaluation of the child for Section 504 eligibility should be completed by a Section 504 team. This evaluation should include an evaluation of the nature of the child’s disability and the impact of the disability on the child’s education.

A final decision will be made by the Section 504 team in writing.
