Section 504 Plan Management Software

Frontline Section 504 Program Management provides the following key benefits:

• Improved process compliance through workflows and standardized documentation using best practice–based Office for Civil Rights (OCR)-compliant forms.
• Better administrative visibility and risk mitigation with real-time reporting into accommodations and services outlined in 504 plans and ready access to legally defensible documentation.
• More equitable student support by ensuring consistent quality services is provided across the district, and consistent processes are used to determine eligibility

Many districts are experiencing growth in their Section 504 populations, which results in more complaints and challenges from parents and the OCR. In addition, many districts still use inconsistent processes to manage Section 504 from school to school and, in some cases, paper forms, which are inefficient, hard to track, and can become outdated quickly. Districts looking to reduce risk and gain peace of mind in Section 504 program compliance should consider Frontline’s 504 plan management software. Built in partnership with nationally recognized attorneys in Section 504 law, Dave Richards & Jose Martín, our system provides you with the guidance you need to ensure appropriate procedures are followed and documentation is complete and accurate.

Comprehensive data validations improve data integrity and make state reporting more efficient and accurate.

There are many benefits to using a dedicated Section 504 plan management system instead of an SIS module. A dedicated 504 system provides everything you need to organize and implement your 504 plans, including managing the delivery of services. In addition, if changes are required to forms, they won’t need to be prioritized against other updates required in your SIS because you’ll have a team dedicated to supporting your Section 504 system.
