The Ultimate 504 Guide

In addition, it's important to ask if your candidates have experience working in your school district (despite any disagreements and/or due process cases). Having little experience with your child's learning needs or unfamiliarity with their school district may be a red flag signaling the candidate isn't the best fit. Remember, who you hire works for you!
