If the school receives federal money it has to operate under the ADA.

Based on a quick skim it does mention that extra curricular activities need to have accommodations in place for the disabled, but it says nothing about providing "chaperones." The only non teacher roles that it mentions are interpreters for the deaf.

I know this wasn't super helpful but I hope it points you in the right direction.

Everyone has to follow the ADA, I believe. Even private businesses that don't receive federal dollars.

Title IX (9) is what applies to schools who receive federal funding.

Happy to be further corrected if I'm wrong.

Not everyone needs to follow the ada. Is for 15+ employees companies etc. Smaller businesses don't need to follow it.

Yes, but ADA is not federal education law and federal education law such as 504 and iep don't apply to private schools.
