504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 directs schools receiving federal funding to eliminate discrimination based on disability from all aspects of school operation. The Boone Community School District does not discriminate in its educational programs and activities on the basis of a student’s disability. As a recipient of federal funds, the Boone Community School District provides students meeting Section 504 eligibility equal physical and academic access to services, programs, and activities as those offered to the general population.
