Section 504

Contact information: 504@k12.dc.gov

​

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (504) is a law that protects people with disabilities. The  504 team ensures that students with disabilities get the support they need through a 504 plan. The goal is to provide a level playing field for students. DCPS students cannot have a 504 plan and an IEP at the same time.  If a student does not qualify under the IDEA they may qualify for a 504 Plan.  Please contact the school’s 504 Coordinator for more information.
