Section 504

It is the policy of the Edison Elementary School District to identify and evaluate students with disabilities who might need special education and/or related aids and services in order to provide them with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) as required under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. "Students may be disabled and entitled to service under Section 504 even though they are not eligible for services pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)."

It is the intent of the Edison Elementary School District ("District") to locate, identify, evaluate and provide a free appropriate public education ("FAPE") under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("Section 504") to each student with a disability within its jurisdiction regardless of the nature or severity of the disability. Further, the District will provide regular or special education and related aids and services that are designed to meet the needs of each disabled student as adequately as the needs of non-disabled students. In addition to providing a FAPE to students with disabilities under Section 504, the District will not discriminate against students with a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities, have a record of such an impairment, or those being regarded as having an impairment.

The following resources are related to Section 504 services. If you have any questions or you suspect that your child may have a disability, please contact your school's Principal, who serves as the Section 504 Coordinator for your school site.
