    AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND SECTION 504 
    The Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act requires the Michigan City Area Schools to ensure that no individual will be discriminated against on the basis of a handicapping condition or disability. This protection applies to students, staff, and all individuals that have access to the School Corporation’s programs and facilities. 
     
    Students who have disabilities who do not qualify for IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) may be served within the regular education program with an accommodation plan developed through an interactive dialogue between the school, the student, and the student’s parents. Parents/Guardians who believe that their child may have a disability that interferes substantially with the child’s ability to function in school should contact the building principal.
