504

Section 504 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination based upon disability. Section 504 is an anti-discrimination, civil rights statute that requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of the non-disabled are met.

An impairment as used in Section 504 may include any disability, long-term illness, or various disorders that “substantially” reduces or lessens a student’s ability to access learning in the educational setting because of learning-, behavior- or health-related condition. Substantially limits is not defined in the federal regulations. In considering substantial limitations, students must be measured against their same age, non-disabled peers in the general population and without benefit of medication or other mitigating measures.

Many students have conditions or disorders that are not readily apparent to others. They may include conditions such as specific learning disabilities, diabetes, epilepsy and allergies. Hidden disabilities such as low vision, poor hearing, heart disease or chronic illness may not be obvious, but if they substantially limit that child’s ability to receive an appropriate education as defined by Section 504, they may be considered to have “impairment” under Section 504 standards. As a result, these students, regardless of their intelligence, will be unable to fully demonstrate their ability or attain educational benefits equal to that of non-disabled students. The definition does not set forth a list of specific diseases, conditions or disorders that constitute impairments because of the difficulty of ensuring the comprehensiveness of any such list. While the definition of a disabled person also includes specific limitations on what persons are classified as disabled under the regulations, it also specifies that only physical and mental impairments are included, thus “environmental, cultural and economic disadvantage are not in themselves covered."

Major life activities include, but are not limited to: self-care, manual tasks, walking, seeing, speaking, sitting, thinking, learning, breathing, concentrating, interacting with others and working. As of January 1, 2009 with the reauthorization of the Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act, this list has been expanded to also include the life activities of reading, concentrating, standing, lifting, bending, etc. This may include individuals with ADHD, dyslexia, cancer, diabetes, severe allergies, chronic asthma, Tourette ’s syndrome, digestive disorders, cardiovascular disorders, depression, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, HIV/AIDS, behavior disorders. Students who are currently using illegal drugs or alcohol are not covered or eligible under Section 504.

Students that are eligible for a 504 Plan receive accommodations based on their identified need and how it substantially limits one or more of their major life activities.

Peer Jury

Peer Jury is a district-based intervention for student behavior to help students take ownership for their own behavior utilizing a ‘Restorative’ approach. Peer Jury provides students an opportunity to reflect upon and account for his/her behavior to a group of their peers, to repair the harm caused to the victim and the school community.

Students are referred to Peer Jury by school based administrators who understand that students make poor choices, but when given an opportunity can learn from their mistakes. Student cases are presented to the Discipline Review Committee, a district committee comprised of school-based administrators from all grade levels. The committee approves student cases to be brought before a panel of jurors that is made up of students from all three high schools. Peer Jurors will attempt to understand why the offender committed the offense and then assign consequences to help the student be accountable for their actions.

Peer Jury meets in person twice a month at the School District Administration Center in Algonquin. Peer Jury can also be held remotely if needed for families unable to attend in person, weather-related issues, or if the school district is in full remote instruction due to a school district closure.   

For questions, please contact the Director of Behavioral Supports, Basilio Salazar, at 847-551-8478.

Restraint, Isolated Time-Out, and Time out (RTO)

Public Act 102-0339 was signed into law August 13, 2021. It amends the Illinois School Code and specifies that the use of physical restraint, time out, and isolated time out will be limited to instances in which the student’s behavior poses an “imminent danger of serious physical harm to self or others.” Following each incident of an RTO, schools must provide the following items to parents and guardians: a written summary of the incident; a copy of the RTO standards; information about the rights of parents, guardians, and students.

In addition, District 300 created an oversight team that consists of, but is not limited to, teachers, paraprofessionals, school service personnel, and administrators to develop district-specific plans that include procedures to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of physical restraint, time out, and isolated time out (RTO).

Mental Health

In accordance to SB 1793 and Anne Marie’s Law (2015), Education Services provides training and supports for all schools under Mental Health and Suicide Awareness. If your student has expressed or is struggling with social-emotional/mental health issues see the list of resources listed below. If you feel this is an emergency call 911.

Suicide Prevention: Remember It Only Takes One (person to care).

D300 cares about you! We believe there is hope. There is also help. Please read on.

If you are feeling depressed or having thoughts of harming yourself, please talk with someone or call the National Suicide Hotline (toll-free and confidential):

1-800-273-TALK - National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:  The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.

For Teens: 1-305-377-8336. Daily, 24 hours. TTY: 1-800-799-4TTY (4889). Daily, 24 hours. Spanish: 1-888-628-9454. Daily, 24 hours.

If you know someone who is feeling depressed or has shared thoughts of self-harm, please talk with someone or call the National Suicide Hotline (toll-free and confidential).  In many cases, an individual with suicidal thoughts does not ask for or seek help. You can help prevent suicide by learning to recognize the signs of someone at risk, taking those signs seriously, and by knowing how to respond to them. Talk to a teacher, school social worker, or counselor if you or someone you know shows any one or more of the following behaviors:

• Hopelessness
• Rage, uncontrolled anger, seeking revenge
• Acting reckless or engaging in risky activities, seemingly without thinking
• Feeling trapped – like there’s no way out
• Increased alcohol or drug use
• Withdrawing from friends, family, and society
• Anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep, or sleeping all the time
• Dramatic mood changes

If someone comes to you asking for help, the most important thing you can do is listen and encourage them to seek help. Please keep in mind the following:

• Take them seriously.
• Do not say, “It’s just the blues.” or “Everyone goes through this.”
• Do not assume the person asked others for help. Care enough to encourage the person to get help.
• Do not ignore the person. Do not leave them alone.

Information and Referral: Operators provide information about the availability of social services of a health or mental health nature in Kane County, Illinois. 1-800-SUICIDE. You may also call 911.

PBIS - Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports

PBIS is a research-based, school-wide systems approach to improve school climate and create safer, more effective schools. PBIS is not a program or a curriculum but rather a process that focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach expectations and support positive behavior for all students.

PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide student behavior by setting expectations for positive behavior and explicitly teaching positive behaviors in all settings.

Restorative Practices

The fundamental premise of restorative practices is that people are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes when those in positions of authority do things with them, rather than to them or for them.

Five Characteristics of Restorative Practices

1. RELATIONSHIPS: Developing caring connections and finding common ground
2. RESPECT: Listening to others’ opinions and valuing them
3. RESPONSIBILITY: Being accountable for actions taken  
4. RESTORATION: Repairing harm that has been caused
5. REINTEGRATION: Ensuring all remain included and involved

The goals of restorative practices both in communities and in schools include:

• Building relationships, creating a sense of community, and its capacity for resolving conflict
• Empowering students by giving them a voice and a shared responsibility in finding constructive resolutions
• Addressing the underlying causes of inappropriate behavior
• Promoting and sharing community values
• Promoting healing for all affected parties of inappropriate behavior
• Providing an opportunity for the offender to make amends and be restored to the school community

Second Step

Second Step is the D300 social-emotional learning curriculum for PK – 5. Second Step is research-based and published by Committee for Children, a non-profit organization focused on teaching social-emotional learning. Second STEP focuses on four main areas:

• Skills for Learning
• Empathy
• Emotion Management
• Problem Solving

SEL - Social and Emotional Learning

CASEL, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning defines social-emotional learning, SEL, as: 

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. 

CASEL has identified five core social-emotional competencies all students need for life and school success. In D300 we develop the whole child which includes building an academic and social-emotional foundation for all students.

1. Self-Awareness - The ability to accurately recognize one’s emotions and thoughts and their influence on behavior. This includes accurately assessing one’s strengths and limitations and possessing a well-grounded sense of confidence and optimism.
   
   
2. Self-Management - The ability to regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively in different situations. This includes managing stress, controlling impulses, motivating oneself, and setting and working toward achieving personal and academic goals.
   
   
3. Social Awareness - The ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others from diverse backgrounds and cultures, to understand social and ethical norms for behavior, and to recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
   
   
4. Relationship Skills - The ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. This includes communicating clearly, listening actively, cooperating, resisting inappropriate social pressure, negotiating conflict constructively, and seeking and offering help when needed.
   
   
5. Responsible Decision Making - The ability to make constructive and respectful choices about personal behavior and social interactions based on consideration of ethical standards, safety concerns, social norms, the realistic evaluation of consequences of various actions, and the well-being of self and others.

DRC recommendations are subject to review by the Superintendent.

Safe Schools (Oak Ridge)

Many Regional Safe School Program students may require a great deal of remediation. This means that the Regional Safe Schools Program is likely to receive students who are at different levels of readiness to learn and progress. In order for the students to have a positive termination from the Regional Safe School Program, instructors should get the students up to a performance level whereby the exit will produce a successful transition. Innovative academic and school-to-work programs, including but not limited to the techniques of work-based learning and technology delivered learning, can be utilized where appropriate.

Students currently enrolled in grades 6 through 12 who meet criteria established by the Regional Office of Education in conjunction with that of the local school superintendent such as: 

• Suspended at least twice for a period of 4-10 days for gross misconduct as defined by the Regional Safe Schools Program
• Arrested by the police and/or remanded to juvenile or criminal courts for acts related to school activities
