504 evaluation. The parent must be given a copy of
“Section 504 Notice of Procedural Safeguards.”
Identify staff that will participate on the Section 504

The parent of the student must be given an opportunity to provide input into identification, evaluation, and placement decisions for his/her child.

Where a student is found to be eligible under Section 504, the need for a Section 504 Plan must be determined. The
Section 504 team, which should include the parent, is responsible for determining the services that are needed to provide the student FAPE. The Plan should specify how services will be provided and by whom. If a determination is made that the student is not eligible, the Plan should so indicate. The parent should sign acknowledging receipt
of the Plan. Regardless of the eligibility determination, provide parents with a copy of the “Section 504 Notice
of Procedural Safeguards.”
Staff must implement the 504 Plan as it is designed. Staff is responsible for signing that they have received and reviewed the Section 504 Plan.

Form on TieNet
Section 504 Team Section 504 disabled students are subject to the same disciplinary action as a non-disabled student, provided that the student’s behavior is not a manifestation of his or her qualifying disability. The Section 504 Team must conduct a manifestation determination whenever a disabled student is subject to out-of-school suspensions for 10 consecutive school days or more or when the student has been subjected to a series of suspensions that total more than 10 school days in a school year and
a pattern of removal exists. If the Section 504 Team concludes that the violation is a manifestation of the student’s qualifying disability, the discipline process must end and the Section 504 Team should review the Section
504 Plan to determine if changes are appropriate. If the violation is not a manifestation, the student is subject to the same disciplinary action that any non-disabled student would receive for the same violation. Provide parents with a copy of the “Section 504 Notice of
Procedural Safeguards.”
