Policy No. 3440 Educational Accommodations (“504”)
It is the policy of the Board of Education for the Provo City School District to provide a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) to each disabled student within its jurisdiction, regardless of the nature or severity of the disability. It is the intent of the District to ensure that students who are disabled within the definition of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are identified, evaluated, and provided with appropriate educational services. Students may be eligible under 504 even though they do not require services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Due process rights of disabled students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) under Section 504 are guaranteed in the Provo City School District. Each school has a 504 coordinator. The District has a 504 Director who may be contacted by calling the District Office (801-374-4814).
