Section 504 is part of a federal civil rights law known as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  This law specifically prohibits discrimination against students with disabilities and guarantees them a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).  As a general rule, a district is under no obligation to provide a service that a student's parent or guardian or doctor requests unless, in the district's determination, the student needs the service to participate in and benefit from its education program.  To learn more about Section 504 in the Baldwin County School System, visit the link below.
