SECTION 504 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT

North Branford Public Schools follow federal and state law under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.  Section 504 is a federal civil rights law providing protection for students with disabilities.  If you or your physician suspect your child has a disability under Section 504, you can communicate this to your building administrator or school nurse.   A 504 meeting will be scheduled to review your concerns and medical reports you may provide and consider eligibility under 504.  The team may determine that additional information is needed from a physician or may want to gather additional information related to school performance.  If your child is determined eligible under Section 504, the team will create a 504 Accommodation Plan.
