Section 504

Overview

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 helps to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities. Section 504 regulations require the school district to provide a “free appropriate public education” (FAPE) to each qualified student with a disability who is in the school district’s jurisdiction, regardless of the nature or severity of the disability. Under Section 504, FAPE consists of the provision of regular or special education and related aids and services designed to meet the student’s individual educational needs as adequately as the needs of nondisabled students are met.
