Required Notices

The U.S. Department of Education and Ohio Department of Education have web posting requirements for all school districts. Most of the information you see here is available in other sections of our website; however, we have provided this page as a more convenient access point for all of the required information.

This page will be updated as needed.

ADA Required Notice

The Parma 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.

Inquiries about ADA Compliance should be directed to the Director of Operations and Human Resources.
Inquiries about Section 504 compliance should be directed to the Director of Exceptional Students.

Reasonable Accommodations
Pursuant to the ADA, the Parma 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.
