Design and deliver professional development for administrators, teachers, counselors, and campus 504 designees on 504 rights, responsibilities, and procedures.
Serve as the primary resource for staff and families regarding Section 504 questions, procedural safeguards, and dispute resolution.
Provide guidance on the intersection of 504 with health plans, behavior supports, and RTI processes.

Family Engagement & Procedural Safeguards

Ensure parents and guardians receive required notices of rights and procedural safeguards.
Facilitate the resolution of 504 grievances and coordinate responses to complaints, including those involving the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution (master's degree in education, special education, counseling, or a related field preferred).
Valid Arkansas educator or administrator license (or ability to obtain).
Minimum of three years of experience in K–12 education, with demonstrated knowledge of Section 504, ADA, and IDEA.
Working knowledge of federal disability civil-rights law and Arkansas DESE requirements.
Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills; ability to manage compliance timelines across multiple campuses.
