Section 504 Information

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was designed to eliminate discrimination against any student with a disability in any program offered by the school district. Section 504 states that:

No otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any other program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Isle of Wight County Schools has developed guidance documents that provide information regarding the school district's responsibilities for providing 504 accommodations for students and the procedures for evaluating students.
