Section 504 program management continues to raise complex questions for districts—from role clarity and compliance ownership to evaluations, eligibility decisions, documentation consistency, implementation fidelity, and OCR risk.
In this on-demand webinar, nationally recognized legal experts Jose Martin and Dave Richards of Richards Lindsay & Martin respond to real questions submitted by district leaders and student support teams. The discussion covers common challenges such as who should manage 504 processes, what data teams need for defensible decisions, how to distinguish 504 from IEP processes, and how districts can strengthen consistency across schools.
Watch the recording to hear practical, high-level guidance from two of the most respected voices in school disability law.

Representing Texas public school districts, he brings a deep understanding of the daily challenges schools face in meeting state and federal disability requirements.
A graduate of the University of Texas in Journalism and the University of Texas School of Law, Jose has published extensively, including as Chief Editor and Writer for the RLM Texas Disability Law Advisor and as Contributing Editor to The Special Educator. Known for his preventive legal approach, Jose has delivered hundreds of presentations nationwide, earning consistent praise for his expertise, accessibility, and sense of humor.
Managing Partner at Richards Lindsay & Martín, L.L.P., Dave focuses his practice on Section 504 and special education law, exclusively defending school districts and special education cooperatives.
