It is the policy of Community School District 18 to make available to all its students, including those with disabilities, access to all activities, programs and services. Students with limited mobility, hearing or visual impairment should, therefore, apply to programs of their choice whether or not such programs are currently located in an accessible building. Should a student with limited mobility, hearing or visual impairment seek admission to a program which is not currently in an accessible facility, the District will take all possible steps to relocate or replicate the program or will otherwise provide a set of alternative services during a transition planning period. Parents have the right to appeal any final placement decision.
