Notice Regarding Students With Disabilities Who Do Not Qualify for an IEP
Students with disabilities who do not qualify for an IEP may qualify for services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 if the child: (i) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (ii) has a record of a physical or mental impairment; or (iii) is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment.
Parents are entitled to receive a copy of the Notice of Procedural Safeguards for Parents/Guardians of Students with Disabilities annually and will be reviewed with the parent at the time of the multi-disciplinary conference. Parents may request a list of free or low cost legal services.
A temporary Special Education Record is also kept for all children referred for a case study evaluation and/or who receive special education services. This consists of referral information, observation and screening data, psychological evaluations, staffing and progress reports, reports from physicians and other agencies having direct contact with the student and other verified information deemed relevant to the education of the student. This record is housed in the Special Services Office at the District Office for Wauconda CUSD 118. Annual notification shall be made to all residents of Wauconda by the publication of this notice each year. Questions regarding special education or student services in Wauconda District 118 should be directed to the appropriate individual based on your child's grade level.
