Can you point me in the right direction - 504?

sbs, I doubt that anyone can tell you for certain just what would happen there, but that isn't because nobody else has ever done so, but because it is dependent upon the 504 procedures of the recieving district.

KWIM?


Certainly, the 504 plan will be reviewed by that district at some point during the first year in the district.  Some districts will do it within the first month, and others are more relaxed about it, and in some cases, there is an urgent need to address something that wasn't an issue (different layout, etc) in the previous environment...

It seems fairly standard that the 504 designation itself is kept at least temporarily.  The reason is twofold:

a) most districts find it simpler to just apply the procedural safeguards/procedure laid out in IDEA rather than constructing a separate set of procedures for 504 for the district (which the law DOES obligate them for-- they have to HAVE procedures, I mean);

and

b) effectively, an active 504 plan means that the student is considered to have such a disabling condition (using the language of the law).  Now, they may review eligibility.  But they can't IGNORE that it existed.  KWIM?

There is no 'stay-put' provision in ADAA/Section 504.  But in a de facto sense, that is often how it works due to point a) above.
