2. Notify teachers of the 504 accommodations if not immediately holding a meeting
3. Observe the student for no longer than one month
4. Bring the student into SE Synergy as an INITIAL (New 504 Evaluation)
5. Write the Bend-La Pine plan
6. Send meeting packet and request to check the plan to Denise
If you are writing a plan immediately, all you need to do is 4, 5 & 6
A student on a 504 plan goes to BLPOnline full time. What do you do?
1. It’s a new setting…..Contact Michelle Oliver, BLPOnline 504 Coordinator, to schedule a 504 meeting
2. If student does not need accommodations in the BLPOnline setting, update the 504 to indicate the student does not require accommodations at this time. Use meeting notes and attendance from the BLPOnline meeting. You need to continue to monitor annually
3. Student returns to school (whether part or full time), you’ll need to hold a renewal meeting to reflect ‘new’ setting
4. Send the meeting packet and request to check the plan to Denise at steps 2. and 3.
