504 Plans
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects students from discrimination based on their disability status and ensures that students with disabilities have access to programs and activities within the school. A student with a disability who does not qualify for special education services under IDEA may quality for a 504 Accommodation Plan, if he/she has a physical or mental impairment in a major life activity which causes a substantial impact on his/her school performance. If you feel that your child may qualify for a 504 Plan, please contact Beth Cordry-Hookstra, Director of Special Education, at (402)223-1512.
