The Aeries 504 Plan page can be used to outline how a student’s specific needs in the education environment are met. The 504 Plan page can be used to describe Accommodation Plans to assist the student in meeting their educational goals.
The 504 Plan page can be used to list Plan Details including a description of the student’s impairments and 504 Plan dates. There are also areas to list Stakeholders, Evaluation Criteria, Impairments, Eligibility, and Accommodations.
504 Plan data will be used for State Reporting. The CALPADS SPRG extract looks at the 504 Plans (FOF) table first for extracting 504 records. If no FOF records exist, then the Programs (PGM) record is used. The system will evaluate each student as it processes the SPRG extract.
Note: It is recommended to populate either the 504 Plans (FOF) table or the Programs (PGM) record school/district wide for data consistency and not both areas.
The Aeries Web Version 504 Plan page can be accessed from the Student Data | Programs | 504 Plans node on the Navigation tree.
After clicking on the 504 Plan node the following page will display.
