What is a school districts responsibility to provide school health services for students with disabilities who participate in nonacademic and extracurricular activities?
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1993 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act require school districts to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate in nonacademic and extracurricular activities which are available to other students enrolled in the public schools of the district. To ensure the participation of students with special health needs in these activities, school districts must make available appropriate health services to these students. Procedures included in the March 1995 memorandum apply to the provision of health services in these situations.
