Special Education Notices
Students with disabilities who do not qualify for an individualized education program, as required by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and implementing provisions of the School Code, may qualify for services under Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 if the child (i) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, (ii) has a record of a physical or mental impairment, or (iii) is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment.
Related Service logs are available upon request.
Parents will be notified if there is failure to implement an IEP service when that service is not implemented within ten school days after the service was to be initiated as set forth in the IEP. The notification must be provided to the child's parent or guardian within three school days of the local education agency's non-compliance with the child's individualized education program and that notice must inform the parent about the procedures for requesting compensatory services. "School days" does not include days where a child is absent from school for reasons unrelated to a lack of individualized education program services or when the service is available, but the child is unavailable.
