Process for students exiting from a 504

There are 2 ways a student can exit from a 504:

• Team to find student ineligible:
  1. Notify district 504 coordinator assistant to move student to 3 yr re-eval process
  1. Hold a team meeting (including parents) to find student ineligible (mild/mod).
  1. No need to fill in the accommodations section
  1. Send meeting packet & have plan checked
  1. Synergy will ask you Y/N exit from 504 process once you finalize the Eligibility section.
  1. Say Y and it’s done.
• Parents ask to terminate the plan – student is still eligible for a plan
  1. This is a revocation
  1. Have parent send you a letter of revocation, signed
     1. It must include the wording “We are revoking all 504 services”
  1. Scan/send to me
  1. I’ll upload letter and remove student from the SE 504 process

Non-exiting option:

Eligible but no plan (or accommodations)

1. Notify district 504 coordinator assistant to move student to 3 yr re-eval mode
2. Fill in all sections AND in accommodations write:  “Eligible but no plan/accommodations at this time”
3. Send meeting packet & have plan checked
4. Continue to monitor student annually
