Tool Search: Section 504
Section 504 refers to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. § 701), which protects individuals with disabilities to participate in education, programs, activities, employment, etc. Section 504 prohibitions against discrimination apply to service availability, accessibility, delivery, employment, and the administrative activities and responsibilities of organizations receiving Federal financial assistance. The definition of "individuals with disabilities" under Section 504 is more broad than the disability definition for IEPs and the IEP governing process.
The Section 504 tool allows staff to record students' start and end dates for Section 504 program participation. Staff can then print a Summary Report of the Section 504 information. The Section 504 Detail information provided below is specific to New Hampshire.
See the core Section 504 article for additional information.
