About Student Support

WCSD views, evaluates, and treats all persons in any WCSD related activity or circumstance in which they may be involved, solely as individuals on the basis of their own personal abilities, qualifications, and other relevant characteristics. 

WCSD prohibits discrimination against any member of the WCSD community on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or disability. WCSD will conduct its programs, services, and activities consistent with applicable federal, state, and local laws.

Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination based on disability. For many years, school districts perceived its main obligation as ensuring physical access to public buildings (e.g., ramps were installed, restroom stalls were enlarged, curbs were cut, elevators were added to multilevel buildings). With passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Congress required that schools districts make their programs and activities accessible and usable to all individuals with disabilities.
 
Within the last several years, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has become active in assisting school districts in further defining “access.” The definition of access means more than physical access; a student may require special accommodation, such as modified assignments in order to benefit from his/her education.
 

WCSD prohibits discrimination against any member of the WCSD community on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or disability. WCSD will conduct its programs, services, and activities consistent with applicable federal, state, and local laws.
