This paper addresses educational implications of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which prohibits programs receiving federal financial assistance from denying services to or discriminating against individuals with disabilities. Individual sections cover: legal definitions (e.g., "individual with handicaps" and "discrimination"); procedural requirements of Section 504; school district obligations for elementary and secondary education; special issues regarding students addicted to drugs or alcohol; special considerations for students having AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) or HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection; program accessibility; employment practices; and major differences between the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) and Section 504. Appendices include a sample letter to parents; various Office of Civil Rights Senior Staff Memoranda on legal questions; and a report on an Oregon due process hearing for an alcoholic student. (DB)
