Under title II of the ADA, a public school district must
ensure that its programs are accessible to individuals with
disabilities. As noted in our prior letter to you, the
Department of Justice's title II regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35,
adopts the concept of program accessibility for facilities
existing on the effective date of the statute, January 26, 1992.
See 28 C.F.R. S 35.149. In existing facilities, "[a] public
entity shall operate each service, program, or activity so that
the service, program or activity, when viewed in its entirety, is
readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
disabilities." 28 C.F.R. S 35.150(a).
