XX next complains about a two-story building
operated by the public school district. State and local
government entities are obligated under title II of the ADA to
make all of their programs and activities accessible to persons
with disabilities. Although a school district is not necessarily
required to make every existing building accessible, it may have
to relocate various services or programs if necessary to provide
program accessibility. All State and local government buildings
constructed after January 26, 1992, must be readily accessible to
and usable by individuals with disabilities. The elevator
exemption for newly constructed small buildings that XX
discusses applies only to privately owned buildings, not State
and local government facilities. See the enclosed title II
regulation at Sections 35.150 and 35.151. if XX wishes
to file a complaint under title II against the school district,
he should write to the U.S. Department of Education, 330 C St.,
Rm 5000, S.W., Washington, 20202-1100. He also has the right
under title II to file suit in federal court and he may wish to
consult an attorney for that purpose.
