Anyone know of the specific regs that specifies that a school cannot stop a student from participation based upon his/her disability? I know it is there, but I am coming up blank on my searches for it. Any help would be appreciated.
"If you laugh today, it will make tomorrow better", by Gary Marshall
A recipient that operates a public elementary or secondary education program or activity shall establish and implement, with respect to actions regarding the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of persons who, because of handicap, need or are believed to need special instruction or related services, a system of procedural safeguards that includes notice, an opportunity for the parents or guardian of the person to examine relevant records, an impartial hearing with opportunity for participation by the person's parents or guardian and representation by counsel, and a review procedure. Compliance with the procedural safeguards of section 615 of the Education of the Handicapped Act is one means of meeting this requirement.
