This site is designed to serve as a resource for 504 coordinators, administrators, school nurses, AEA staff and parents of students in Area 10.

Grant Wood AEA is providing the various forms, templates and resources as a service to the school districts. Districts could choose to adopt these forms, or create forms of their own. If they choose to create forms of their own, please be advised to meet the school district responsibilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the ADAAA of 2008.

The School District has the sole responsibility for the development and implementation of Section 504 Plans.
