• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (as amended)

    All 504 requests in the Oxford School District are channeled through our Child Find process with the exception of some of our major medical 504 cases. Each school has an intervention coordinator on site to help facilitate this process alongside parents. If you need to complete a 504 request or a Child find request, please contact the intervention coordinator for your child's school:

    What is Section 504?

    Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (commonly referred to as Section 504) is a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Those programs include public school districts, institutions of higher education, and other state and local education agencies. To qualify under Section 504, a student must have a disability and that disability must limit a major life function. The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008 (ADA) broadened the definition of disability in the ADA as well as in Section 504.

    This civil rights legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in schools and other entities receiving Federal monetary assistance. In compliance with this legislation, the Oxford School District does not discriminate against individuals with disabilities in employment practices, educational programs, or activities. Any parent, employee, or student who has knowledge of discrimination due to a disability, or who has experienced discrimination on the basis of a disability, should contact:
