ADAAA Compliance
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) are comprehensive federal civil rights laws that require public accommodations to provide goods and services to people with disabilities on an equal basis with the rest of the general public. This legislation ensures equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, transportation, state and local government services (such as public education), and telecommunications. The ADA and ADAAA protect individuals with impairments that substantially limit a major life activity. The laws also provide protection for individuals who might experience episodic disabilities or conditions that may go into remission.
All Park City School District facilities are deemed ADA accessible. Requests for assistive listening devices, enlarged written materials or other accommodations to access a facility, program, or service should be directed to the school principal/department director. Providing at least 72 hours of advance notice will help to ensure availability.
WCAG Compliance

TITLE IX
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Title IX prohibits the Park City School District from discriminating on the basis of sex and requires the District to adopt and publish prompt and equitable grievance procedures for complaints alleging sex discrimination covered by Title IX. The updated Title IX regulations are currently under the 2020 regulations in Utah. The Title IX Policy is 3100 under General Administration and the Procedures Document outlines the grievance procedure steps.
SECTION 504
Section 504 of the law prohibits the Park City School District from discriminating based on disability. This includes the District's responsibility to promptly and effectively address any actual or reported instances of student-to-student disability-related harassment that create a hostile educational environment. The actions required to address such situations include stopping the harassment, preventing its recurrence, eliminating the hostile environment, and addressing its effects. Section 504 covers student-to-student disability-based harassment. A hostile environment is described as disability-based harassment that is severe, pervasive, or persistent enough to interfere with a student's ability to engage in or benefit from the school's services, activities, or opportunities. The goal is to restore and maintain a safe, supportive and equitable environment for the student.
