Section 504

  • Students with disabilities who do not qualify for special education services under the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act may qualify for assistance under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A child may qualify under this Act if the child has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity, has a record of physical or mental impairment, or is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment. Students or parents may contact their school’s student services department for information related to eligibility and assistance. If you have a question or concern regarding your eligible child, please contact your student services director.

    Township High School District 211 is committed to facilitating a parent’s understanding of and participation in Section 504 Plan meetings. 
    This includes the provision of interpreter services for parents whose native language is not English or a sign language interpreter for parents who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as the translation of finalized vital Section 504 Plan documents. The District will make reasonable efforts to comply with interpreter requests and in the absence of qualified interpreters on staff, the District may use telephonic and virtual interpreters. To request an interpreter or the translation of vital Section 504 Plan documents, please contact your child’s case manager. If you have any questions or concerns about interpreting services during 504 meetings or the translation of vital special education documents, please contact your student services director.
