JICHS- 504 Small Group Testing (Donnia Richardson, Interim Assistant Principal)

As part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504 is an anti-discrimination, civil rights statute that requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of the non-disabled are met.  In other words, it is mandated by Federal Law and must be adhered to.

●     JICHS has established a central location each class period so students can test in a small-group environment with a proctor.

●     Teachers should deliver the assessment to the library no later than the day before the test day/period.  The proctor will pick up the tests from the library and will administer according to the accommodations noted on the attached cover sheet.

●     After the assessment, completed tests will be returned to the library for teachers to retrieve.

●     Some departments may already have systems in place for 504 test accommodations and may continue with those systems.
