Section 504 Timelines

  • Once a request for a 504 Plan is made, either verbally or in writing, the 504 Team has a maximum of 60 calendar days (tolled for school breaks in excess of 5 school days) in which to:
  • Notify and invite the parents to the 504 meeting. Include a Parent Consent for Evaluation form. 
  • Review evaluative data
  • Hold a 504 Eligibility Team meeting and make a decision as to whether or not the student is eligible for a 504. If the student is eligible, write the 504 Plan.
  • 504 plans should reviewed annually or sooner (if needed) and whenever there is a significant change in placement or student need.
  • When a student with a 504 Plan transfers to another school, the receiving school has 30 calendar days (tolled for school breaks in excess of 5 school days) to review the 504 and make revisions if necessary. This includes students transitioning between elementary to middle/junior high and/or middle/junior high to high school. Remember, parents are informed of and invited to the 504 Team meeting wherein these revisions are made.
  • If a student with a 504 Plan is suspended with a proposed expulsion, a Manifestation Determination Meeting must be held within 5 days of the occurrence of the behavior that initiated the suspension. Manifestation Determination Meeting must also be held when a student's cumulative total days of suspension approaches 10 in one school year.
