As an after school program located on a district site, what entity is financially responsible for providing a child with special needs the assistance required by his/her 504?
If the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) includes the after school program as a part of the student’s educational program (as signed by the district and parents), the district is responsible for providing supports to provide that service via special education funding. However, if the parents request the student to attend the after school program and it is not a fulfillment of the IEP, the district is not legally responsible to provide the supports.
