Accommodating Individuals with Disabilities

Individuals with disabilities will be provided reasonable opportunity to participate in all school-sponsored services, programs, or activities, on an basis equal to those without disabilities, and will not be subject to illegal discrimination. The District will provide auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford individuals with disabilities equal opportunity to participate in or enjoy the benefits of a service, program, or activity.

Each service, program, or activity operated in existing facilities will be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. New construction and alterations to facilities existing before January 26, 1992, will be accessible when viewed in their entirety.

The Human Resources/Personnel Manager is designated the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II Coordinator and, in that capacity, is directed to:

1. Oversee the District’s compliance efforts, recommend necessary modifications to the Board, and maintain the District’s final Title II self-evaluation document and keep it available for public inspection.
2. Institute plans to make information regarding Title II’s protection available to any interested party.

Individuals with disabilities should notify the building principal or Human Resources/Personnel Manager, if they have a disability which will require special assistance or services and what services are required. This notification should occur as far as possible before the school-sponsored function, program, or meeting.
