Responsible buyer
public school district or charter LEA with 7 campuses / roughly 2,000–12,000 students and 80–400 active Section 504-only plans , where campus counselors or assistant principals serve as part-time 504 designees and the district 504 Coordinator (often dual-hatted) cannot clear the annual-review backlog. Economic buyer: Assistant Superintendent of Student Services / Director of Student Support / Special Programs Director (budget owner for compliance risk). Champion: District Section 504 Coordinator or lead campus 504 Facilitator.
Cost of the gap
Painful problem Section 504 plans multiply (ADHD, anxiety, diabetes, food allergies, temporary impairments) while staff capacity does not. Federal regulation requires evaluation before placement/significant change and periodic reevaluation (34 CFR § 104.35). Best practice and OCR expectations push annual plan reviews and ~3-year reevaluations.
Outcome
The outcome we sell Outcome: Every active Section 504 file in scope has a specialist-released Annual Review / Reevaluation Completeness Pack before its due date — meeting notices drafted, input chase log, specificity-scored accommodation rewrite suggestions, evidence matrix, and Completeness Affidavit — so the district 504 Coordinator can chair the meeting and the campus can implement without OCR-grade gaps. We sell the released pack and optional Continuity Desk — not a co-pilot, not legal representation, not IDEA/IEP services, not eligibility determinations.
Decision rule
