The Colchester School District Board of Education approved the second and final reading of a retitled policy: "Section 504 and ADA Grievance Protocol for Students and Staff" (Policy F27). The revision shifts emphasis from the district's responsibilities under Section 504 to providing a grievance procedure if discrimination occurs and incorporates the introductory paragraph from the original policy.
Director Laurie Kigonya moved to approve the second and final reading; the motion passed unanimously. The approved policy provides a stated procedure that students and staff can use to file grievances related to discrimination on the basis of disability, under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The board did not record additional procedural amendments during the meeting. The policy will be reflected in the district policy manual as Policy F27.
