Parent and Educator Resource Guide to Section 504 in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools

Section 504 Coordinators.

School districts with 15 or more employees must designate an employee (sometimes referred to as a Section 504 Coordinator) to coordinate the district’s efforts to comply with Section 504.¹⁴⁰ In addition to coordinating and monitoring compliance with Section 504 within a school district Section 504 Coordinators will often distribute Section 504-related forms, documents, and information to parents; provide staff with information about Section 504 policies, practices, and procedures to help ensure that they fulfill their responsibilities in a timely and appropriate manner; respond to parent complaints; and complete other Section 504-related tasks within schools as necessary.
