The Wickliffe City School District is committed to full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified persons with disabilities, as well as other federal and state laws pertaining to individuals with disabilities. Under the ADA and its amendments, a person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. The ADA also protects individuals who have a record of a substantially limiting impairment or who are regarded as disabled by the institution whether qualified or not. A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity such as hearing, seeing, speaking, breathing, performing manual tasks, walking, or caring for oneself.

Reasonable Accommodations
Pursuant to the ADA, the Wickliffe City School District will provide reasonable accommodation(s) to all qualified employees with known disabilities, where their disability affects the performance of their essential job functions, except where doing so would be unduly disruptive or would result in undue hardship.

 

Newly enacted legislation (Ohio Revised Code 3365.035) effective, October 1, 2021, requires educational institutions participating in College Credit Plus to inform students and parents - The subject matter of a course enrolled in under the college credit plus program may include mature subject matter or materials, including those of a graphic, explicit, violent, or sexual nature, that will not be modified based upon college credit plus enrollee participation regardless of where course instruction occurs.

 

Additionally, all CCP applicants and their parent/guardian will be required to sign a permission slip that indicates they understand that by enrolling in College Credit Plus courses, the content may include mature subject matter that will not be modified based upon College Credit Plus enrollee participation regardless of where course instruction occurs; and that State law requires the signed form be submitted in the student’s application to the college or university.

 

Once admitted, CCP students will also be required to complete a questionnaire regarding Guidance for Colleges and Secondary Schools (Mature Subject Matter).
