Procedural Safeguards: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability
School Board Approved: August 5, 2024
The school district will ensure that all parents/guardians of students with a disability are provided all necessary procedural safeguards as are required by law. Such procedural safeguards are found in pertinent federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, all staff, students, parents and other interested persons are directed to the New Hampshire Department of Education Procedural Safeguards Handbook (relative to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), or to the Model Process for 504 Plan Development (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973). For reporting or making a complaint of discrimination or harassment relative to a disability or a perceived disability, see Board policy ACA.
More specific information regarding the District's programs and procedures relative to programs for students with disabilities is found in Board policy IHBA.
