SECTION 511.91. Board Responsibilities Regarding Requested Accommodations

(a) The Board recognizes its responsibilities under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide appropriate and effective accommodations, including auxiliary aids, to qualified examination applicants with disabilities. However, the Board will not fundamentally alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge the examination is intended to test.

(b) The Board recognizes its responsibility to accommodate the identified needs of qualified individuals with disabilities by making reasonable modifications and/or providing auxiliary aids. This does not mean that all requests for accommodation, and/or auxiliary aids will be granted, or that the applicant will receive the particular accommodations or services sought at every testing center. The Board is not required to grant the request if doing so would fundamentally alter the measurement of the skills or knowledge the examination is intended to test, or would create an undue financial or administrative burden.
