Section 504 Resources
Grant Wood AEA provides various forms, templates and resources as a service to school districts. Districts could choose to adopt these forms, or create forms of their own. If a district chooses to create forms of their own, they are advised to meet the school district responsibilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the ADAAA of 2008.
Please contact your AEA Regional Administrator for additional resources to support District 504 Coordinators and Teams.
