5th ANNUAL VIRTUAL 504 CONFERENCE

Julie Weatherly, Esq.
Leading with Clarity and Confidence: The Future of Section 504
 
As conversations around disability rights and federal protections continue to evolve, the role of Section 504 in schools has never been more important—or more uncertain. Join the Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) for the 5th Annual Virtual Section 504 Conference on June 2–3, 2026, a two-day learning experience designed to help educational leaders stay informed, be proactive, and be prepared.
 
From foundational frameworks to advanced application strategies, this conference offers timely insights, expert legal analysis, and practical guidance to strengthen Section 504 implementation across your district. Now is the time to build your team’s capacity and ensure compliance. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with experts, learn from real-world scenarios, and reinforce equitable access for every student.
