Policy 6250 – Instruction for Students with Disabilities

It is the policy of the District to provide a free appropriate public education to all public school
students with disabilities. Students with disabilities are defined as those students who have one
of the categorical disabilities as enumerated in the Missouri State Plan for Part B of the

services or who have a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major
life activities as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or the Americans with
Disabilities Act.

The District will provide special education and/or other services to students with disabilities in
accordance with applicable law, including the IDEA, and its amendments, Section 504 of
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, §162.670-.995, RSMo., and Missouri’s State Plan for Part B of the
IDEA. For appeal procedures and information as to where to obtain a copy of the District’s 504
