This two-day event will cover basics and provide a deeper dive into understanding a public school’s duties under §504 law. A veteran school lawyer will discuss §504 and the importance of
process-based compliance to satisfy the Office for Civil Rights §504 legal requirements as
well as the relationship between §504 and special education. This session will walk through
the school’s duty to provide a 504-compliant Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
Child find, evaluation and eligibility; creation and documentation of the 504 Plan; and the
school's duties in regard to re-evaluation of these students will be covered. The law’s
nondiscrimination protections including manifestation determination and equal participation in
extracurricular and nonacademic services will also be discussed.
Working lunch will be included with both days of the event and attendees will receive a resource binder and continued access to support throughout the school year via monthly webinars with Richards, Lindsay, and Martin--included with registration cost!
