Purpose

Section 1050 Section 1050.10  Purpose a)         This Americans With Disabilities Act Grievance Procedure (Procedure) is established pursuant to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 USC 12101 et seq.) ("ADA"), and specifically Section 35.107 of the Title II regulations (28 CFR 35), requiring that a grievance procedure be established to resolve grievances asserted by qualified individuals with disabilities.  Should any individual desire to review the ADA or its regulations to understand the rights, privileges, and remedies afforded by it, please contact the ADA Coordinator. b)         In general, the ADA requires that each program, service, and activity offered by the Board, when viewed in its entirety, be readily accessible to and usable by a qualified individual with disabilities. c)         It is the intention of the Board to foster open communications with all individuals requesting readily accessible programs, services and activities.  The Board encourages supervisors of programs, services and activities to respond to requests for modifications before they become grievances.
