Section 504
Congress passed Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act in 1973. It was intended to be civil rights legislation for persons with disabilities and focused on employment issues. It was modified a few years later to include school issues.
For public schools receiving federal funds, Section 504 prohibits discrimination against students and employees who may be eligible for protections under the act.
The Mental Health Department members are the Section 504 Coordinators at Vollmer, so I will likely be able to answer any questions you may have about related procedures and practices. Feel free to "Contact" me via the link on the left of this page and I will try to find the answer for you!
