Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against disabled persons who may participate in, or receive benefits from, programs receiving federal financial assistance (in our case, public schools). Section 504 ensures that eligible students with a disability receive equal access to services that are provided to non-disabled students and provides protection from discrimination based on the disability.

As an institution that receives Federal financial assistance, the Prosper Independent School District maintains applicable Board Policies related to Section 504. The relevant board policies include but are not limited to the following Board Policies:
