This report examines the issues of school district compliance with the legal mandate to accommodate students with disabilities, and it explores the legislation that addresses student accessibility. The paper discusses and compares the federal laws and enforcement provisions dealing with accessibility, including those under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of Title V of the Rehabilitation Act, and the advisory guidelines concerning accessibility from the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. Final comments address the vagaries of accessibility laws and the need for careful reflection when planning new or renovating old facilities. (Contains 28 references.) (GR)
