The U.S. Department of Education released new guidance, Fact Sheet: Long COVID under Section 504 and the IDEA, to address school districts’ obligation to students with long-haul COVID symptoms. The guidance recommends screening and referral of eligibility for either Section 504 Plan services or full special education services in response to symptomology exhibited by students subsequent to infection (even if the student was non-symptomatic during illness).
