Section 504

Roseville Area Schools complies with the requirements of Section 504 of the Human Rights Act and is committed to providing accommodations for students in our schools. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Fact Sheet provides information on protections against discrimination because of a disability and the right to appropriate accommodations.

Who Qualifies for Section 504?

According to Section 504, a person is "disabled" if he/she/they has a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. That person must be unable to perform, or be significantly limited in the ability to perform, an activity when compared to an average person in the general population.

Learning is a Major Life Activity

When a condition significantly limits a major life activity, an accommodation plan must be developed for that person. Accommodations or services are determined by a team knowledgeable about the individual and his/her/their disability.

Major life activities include functions such as:

• Caring for one's self
• Performing manual tasks
• Walking
• Seeing
• Hearing
• Speaking
• Breathing
• Learning
• Working

Requesting Accommodations

Parent/Guardian or students may request accommodations under the protections of this law by contacting the building principal.
