Department of Education Considers Amendments to Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act
The U.S. Department of Education is currently considering amendments to the regulations surrounding Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This law prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in public schools and in various other settings.
Many school districts, including here in Wauwatosa, provide services to students with disabilities under Section 504, as well as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. These laws allow students various accommodations in seeking a free and appropriate public education.

Learning About + Managing School Avoidance in Kids
Most kids donât want to go to school every now and then. But kids with âschool avoidanceâ experience a lot of extreme anxiety or emotional stress about going to school.
What Should I Know About School Avoidance?
Kids with school avoidance often try very hard to avoid school and/or getting extremely upset about going to school. Students struggling with school avoidance usually like school and understand that attending school is important. It is not truancy, but rather a less effective coping mechanism: refusing to go to or stay at school provides temporary relief of the extreme anxiety they are experiencing.
School avoidance often results in frequent school absences, tardies, and days of partial attendance. School Avoidance is actually common, affecting from 5 - 28% of youths at some point during their school lives. School avoidance can look like:
- Complaints of not feeling well (usually a headache or stomachache), particularly the evening before school or the morning of school
- Tantrums when it is time to go
- Crying , hiding, or refusing to move when it is time to go to school
- Refusing to get out of bed
- Frequent visits to the health room, counselors office, or other âsafeâ place
- Stalling in the morning, making excuses, and having a difficult time getting out the door
- Pleas to not go back to school
What Causes School Avoidance?
Triggers of school avoidance are different for everyone. Many times there is not an identifiable cause for it. School avoidance can start when a student feels overwhelmed or intimidated by whatâs happening in class or with their friends (for example, academic demands, social conflict, bullying). Some kids report excessive worry about the school environment (for example, fear of using the school bathrooms, perceiving a teacher to be mean, etc.). Itâs more common in students who struggle with general anxiety or depression. School avoidance can be triggered by transitions in the childâs life (starting a new grade, returning from a break or weekend, stressful events at home or school, etc.).
In younger kids, it can be triggered by fear of leaving their caregiver. Teens may become school avoidant when they donât feel successful or reinforced by something at school (academics, friends, extracurriculars). To sum, there is something frustrating, worrisome, or depressing to the student about attending schoolâthis can be a tangible problem, or a problem with the childâs perception of school.
How Can I Help My Child?
- Collaborate with school staff, parents, healthcare providers, and behavioral health providers to create a plan to get back to school. Itâs important for everyone to be on the same page!
- Address any concrete concerns: are there learning needs that arenât being addressed? Is there a social conflict or misunderstanding to be sorted out? Talk with your child about any problems they are having at school and take care of any needs.
- Donât focus on health complaints or problem behaviors on school-avoidant mornings. Acknowledge the difficulty of the situation but encourage your child to problem-solve ways to cope (for example: âI know youâre feeling anxious and have a headache, letâs distract with some music while you get ready for schoolâ)
- Make sure your student has a reason to go to school by providing opportunities for them to feel connected to school in some way. This can be as simple as providing the child with a special task to complete at school, or time with a preferred teacher to work on a project. Without experiencing success and connection at school, attending can feel like a job the student dislikes but canât quit.
- Encourage a gradual return to school: start with a few hours or a half-day and build up to full-day attendance. Work with school staff to develop an appropriate timeline.
- Have school staff or a friend meet your child at the car or front door of school to help walk them in.
- Give the child a âwarm upâ period at the start of the day. This may include going into the building early, spending 20 minutes with a preferred teacher or in the guidance area, and then going to class.
- If the child is at home instead of school, the home environment should be really boring. Try eliminating access to wifi, streaming, video games, naps, etc. during the day and focus on completing makeup work.
- Give the student a predetermined number of passes to use for breaks during the school day. If the student does not use a pass, allow them to exchange it for a reward.
- Treating school avoidance sometimes causes the anxiety and avoidance to get worse before it gets better. This is normal and temporary. Consistency in expectations and support is key.
- Consider therapy so the student can learn strategies for managing underlying anxiety or depression.

District to Receive Additional ESSER III Funding |
|
|
This week, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction announced local educational agencies with an ESSER formula allocation that did not meet $578 per pupil will receive additional ESSER funding.
This means that the Wauwatosa School District will have an additional $1,204,745 of ESSER III money to spend.
Of this, $1,020,894 must be used for EBIS. The District must submit its application / budget for this EBIS portion by August 31.
The original ESSER III allocation required that the District spend at least 20%, $606,639 on EBIS expenditures. Our plan exceeds that amount.
This means that we can shift everything above the required $606,639 to this new allocation, and use the amount shifted from the original ESSER III plan for other purposes including:
- Balancing next year's budget.
- Other expenditures that did not make the cut for the approved ESSER III plan.
This means that for all purposes, the Wauwatosa School District will present a balanced budget on June 13, 2022. Further, we will have a contingency fund for additional staffing needs as we get closer to the start of the school year.
