Can a district limit its duty to provide FAPE to a disabled student based on cost?

No. As a general rule, a district’s FAPE obligation under Section 504 is not subject to cost considerations. For example, a district generally may not refuse to provide necessary special education or related aids or services to a disabled student because doing so would cause the district a financial hardship.
