Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities are protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and by ADA. They may also be covered by IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and by Massachusetts special education laws if the student's disability requires that they receive services in order to make progress in school. Special needs students have protections under IDEA in school discipline actions. For information on discipline, please refer to the Discipline category.
