Can a teacher refuse to provide a service that school district agrees to provide in a Section 504 Individual Accommodation Plan?
No. Teachers who refuse to perform an accommodation may find themselves in the position of the defendant teacher in Doe v. Withes. A jury found the teacher liable for $5,000 in compensatory damages and $10,000 in punitive damages because he refused to provide oral testing for a student with a disability.
