While the determination is made for a 504 or IEP school has told a friend child can’t be in school due to medical issue unless they have a physician note on file documenting the condition (or at least providing the explanatory it) do an action plan can presumably be developed. Family is working to get the note, but pediatrician has asked for specialist consults because they  don’t want to jump to quick Dx without ruling out other things just in case. In the meantime school has declared with no doctor note on file, student is a liability  and just needs to stay home, but they won’t provide homebound (which required Dr. note) or even live streaming in the meantime (because it’s not a covid issue). 
Is this denial of FAPE?

This feels like a denial of FAPE. If liability is a concern, one would think that would be a big reminder to make some sort of an arrangement.
