Section 504 (BIE)

Tool Search: BIE Section 504

The BIE Section 504 tool records the academic accommodations a student in a 504 Program is receiving to enhance learning functions specific to their needs. Students participating in a 504 Program must be reevaluated every three years and may only be allowed in one 504 program at a time. A history of prior 504 Program participation is tracked by program start and end dates and prints in the Summary Report.

See the core Section 504 article for additional information.
