Provides that within 14 school days after receiving a written request for a federal Section 504 plan from a child's parent or guardian, a school district shall determine: (1) whether the clinical information is sufficient to support the existence of a disability under the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and eligibility for a Section 504 plan; (2) whether further evaluation is needed to make such a determination; or (3) whether there is no basis for an evaluation or Section 504 plan based on available information. Provides that if the school district makes the determination not to confer eligibility based on existing information or that an evaluation is to be conducted, the school district shall provide written notice to the parent or guardian explaining the rationale for the determination.
