Section 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act – Student Rights and Services
Section 504 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. In the context of education, it ensures that a student with a disability has equal access to an education and may receive accommodations and modifications necessary for academic success.
This law applies to all public schools and school districts receiving federal funds—including our district here in Michigan.
