Some other important things to note regarding 504 plans:ĥ04 plans are NOT the same thing as IEPs/Special Education. The school district will contact you to review the Section 504 plan annually and make any necessary changes. Once the Section 504 plan has been written and signed by the parent and district, the district must start providing the accommodations listed in the plan. If your child is NOT determined to be eligible, a building-level accommodation/intervention plan should be created instead. If there is a time crunch situation, the team member responsible for writing the plan may ask to schedule a phone conference with you to discuss the plan at a later date or offer to send the draft via email. If you child is determined to be eligible, the Section 504 plan is often written immediately following the eligibility determination in the same meeting. All team members sign in agreement or disagreement. This is not as common these days for reasons we will discuss in next week's post.Īnother team meeting is held to discuss the results of the evaluation and determine as a team whether your child is eligible for a Section 504 plan. Some districts may also include standardized assessments, such as IQ or Achievement tests. This may include a parent interview, review of records for background history, teacher interviews, medical information from your child's physician confirming the impacting condition, and sometimes social-emotional rating scales. The district completes the 504 evaluation. You can request an evaluation again at that point if you have not seen improvement in your student's performance. If they do not agree to do the evaluation in favor of the building-level plan, they will schedule a time to follow up with you in 4-6 weeks. If the district agrees to the Section 504 evaluation, they will create a plan for the evaluation and obtain parent consent to proceed. School district schedules a team meeting to discuss whether it is appropriate to move forward with a Section 504 evaluation or try a building-level plan first Parent requests a Section 504 plan for their student (typically to the School Counselor or Principal/Administrator)
