COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE UNDER
THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
In accordance with the
requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(“ADA”), the Stewartsville
C-2 School District (“School District”) does not discriminate on
the basis of disability against qualified individuals with a disability with
respect to the School District’s services, programs or activities.
Employment: The School District does not discriminate on
the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices. The School District complies with the federal
regulations under Title I of the ADA (which governs the application of the ADA
in the hiring and employment setting).
Effective
Communication: The School
District will comply with the ADA with respect to providing auxiliary aids and
services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with
disabilities so they can participate equally in School District programs,
services, and activities. These aids and
services are designed to make information and communications accessible to
people who have impairments, in areas such as speech, hearing, and vision. The School District will not place a
surcharge on a qualified individual with a disability, or any group of qualified
individuals with disabilities, to cover the cost of providing auxiliary
aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy (for example, retrieving
items from locations that are open to the public but inaccessible to users of
wheelchairs).
Anyone who requires an
auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of
policies or procedures to participate in a service, program, or activity of the
School District should contact the respective Compliance Coordinator, whose
contact information is listed below.
Such contact should be made as soon as possible, but not later than 48
hours before the scheduled event (and, preferably, at least
five (5) business days before
the event).
Modifications to
Policies and Procedures: The School
District will make reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure
that qualified individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy
its services, programs and activities.
The ADA does not require the
School District to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of
its programs or services or impose an undue financial or administrative
burden.
Complaints that a School
District service, program, or activity is not accessible to persons with a
disability may be directed to the Compliance Coordinator below. In addition, as stated in the School District’s
Notice of Nondiscrimination, a person who is unable to resolve a problem or
grievance arising under Title II of the ADA may contact the Office for Civil
Rights, Region VII, 8930 Ward Parkway, Suite 2037, Kansas City, Missouri 64114;
telephone (816) 268-0550.
