Frontline 504 Plan Compliance Software
Section 504 Program Management, a part of Frontline Special Programs Management
Support student success and promote equity with Frontline Section 504 plan management software.
“At this time, few schools have a firm grasp of the Section 504 process. By creating the guidelines and forms as a system, we sought to ensure consistency in language and action and, to the extent possible, have the forms guide Section 504 committees through their tasks to ensure that proper procedures were followed to satisfy the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).”

Answer
Many districts are experiencing growth in their Section 504 populations, which results in more complaints and challenges from parents and the OCR. In addition, many districts still use inconsistent processes to manage Section 504 from school to school and, in some cases, paper forms, which are inefficient, hard to track, and can become outdated quickly.

Answer
There are many benefits to using a dedicated Section 504 plan management system instead of an SIS module. A dedicated 504 system provides everything you need to organize and implement your 504 plans, including managing the delivery of services. In addition, if changes are required to forms, they won’t need to be prioritized against other updates required in your SIS because you’ll have a team dedicated to supporting your Section 504 system.
Answer
Yes. Integrations with student information systems are available to ensure demographic information is accurate. Our implementation team will work with your district to provide the data templates necessary to receive SIS information on a nightly basis via an sFTP.
Answer
Extremely. Frontline completed a rigorous third-party audit and earned the prestigious SOC 2 Certification. SOC 2 Certification is rare yet critically important in EdTech because of the incredibly sensitive data EdTech companies collect and store. Flat files are transmitted securely, using sFTP. API data is transmitted using SSL. All the data Frontline houses is monitored around the clock in live physically and geographically secure data centers throughout the United States and Canada, ensuring your data is protected from physical intrusions and natural disasters. Your data is encrypted in transit and on our infrastructure.
Answer
Your license is unlimited. You can decide who needs access to the software to best meet the needs of your students. You’ll never need to restrict someone from accessing the software to save a few bucks.
Answer
Frontline’s 504 Program Management software is completely web based and can be accessed from all commonly used web browsers and operating systems.
Answer
Yes. Frontline has built its products and security program to align with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), so district leaders and parents alike can have peace of mind concerning their students’ information.
Both FERPA and HIPAA require that school districts safeguard personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). The laws require a combination of technical, administrative, and physical security controls to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Frontline Education’s products have been designed to provide highly secure technical and physical controls that form a solid foundation that customers can leverage as part of their compliance program.
