NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF
HANDICAP/DISABILITY
The Educational Service Center is the recipient of Federal funds and
therefore must be in compliance with all laws and regulations that deal
with handicapped/disabled individuals. Furthermore, the Governing Board
maintains that discrimination against a qualified handicapped/disabled
person solely on the basis of handicap/disability is unfair. To the extent
possible, qualified handicapped/disabled persons should be in the
mainstream of life in a school community.
Accordingly, employees of the Educational Service Center will comply with
the law and Governing Board policy to ensure nondiscrimination on the
basis of handicap/disability. The following will be expected:
1. No one will discriminate against qualified handicapped/disabled persons
in any aspect of school employment solely on the basis of
handicap/disability.
2. Facilities, programs and activities will be made available to qualified
handicapped/disabled persons.
3. Free, appropriate education at elementary and secondary levels,
including nonacademic and extracurricular services and activities will be
provided to qualified handicapped/disabled persons.
4. No one will exclude any qualified handicapped/disabled person, solely
on the basis of handicap/disability, from participation in any preschool
education, day care, adult education or vocational education program.
5. Each qualified handicapped/disabled person will be provided with the
same health, welfare and other social services that are provided to
others.
