An area of my school is not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Can I apply for an ERP grant to bring my school into compliance?
A. The ADA of 1990 requires that public facilities are built or reconstructed to ensure a particular level of accessibility for individuals with disabilities. LEAs are required to have a transition plan to ensure all of their facilities meet ADA requirements. Those federal requirements have been absorbed into Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and are commonly referred to as access compliance. Because access compliance requirements pre-date the existence of the ERP, and because it was determined during the SAB Implementation Committee process that it is not the intent of the ERP to pay for ADA upgrades, grants will not be given for access compliance work. LEAs should note this because some projects may require a DSA review and access compliance upgrades are not eligible expenditures under the ERP.
