6 Role and Responsibilities of the Reasonable Accommodation Committee

61 Policy

Each area and district is required to have a Reasonable Accommodation Committee (RAC), a multifunctional task force that helps management do the following:

Determine the eligibility of employees and applicants for reasonable accommodation.
Assess the availability and feasibility of specific accommodations.

The RAC examines the following:

Whether an individual applicant or employee qualifies for accommodation under the Rehabilitation Act.
Potential accommodations, including transfer or reassignment. (This requires the RAC working with the individual and management of the affected office.)
