All students with injuries and temporary or chronic illnesses that preclude their attendance in school, including students who are not eligible for special education and related services, must be provided with instruction.   Before instruction for a student unable to attend school can begin, the parent must provide the school corporation with a written statement from a physician that states the student has a temporary illness or injury that will require the student's absence from school for a minimum of twenty (20) consecutive instructional days.  

Contact the building principal or the Office of Special Education and Student Services (812)274-8231.

Madison Consolidated School District is committed to identifying, evaluating, and providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students within its jurisdiction who are disabled within the definition of Section 504, regardless of the nature or severity of their disabilities.  If a student has a physical or mental impairment that significantly limits one or more major life activities, the school will provide the student with a free appropriate public education.  

An appropriate education may include regular or special education and related aids and services to accommodate the unique needs of students with disabilities. For disabled students who are not eligible for specially designed instruction under the IDEA, the related aids and services (including accommodations/modifications/interventions) they need in order to have their needs met as adequately as the needs of nondisabled students are met, shall be delineated, along with their placement, in a Section 504 Plan.

Parents/guardians/custodians ("parents") are invited and encouraged to participate fully in the evaluation process and development of a Section 504 Plan.  

Contact the building principal for more information related to Section 504 services.
