Charter Schools and Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and ED’s Section 504 regulations prohibit disability discrimination by recipients of Federal financial assistance. Such recipients are responsible for compliance with Section 504 in all of their operations including both traditional LEAs (i.e., traditional school district LEAs) and charter school LEAs (i.e., public charter schools that operate as LEAs under State law).
