2. Copies of ESYP progress reports must be maintained in the student's IEP file along with the usual/normal ongoing data collection.

B. Local education agencies shall evaluate ESYP outcome data to determine program effectiveness.

1. Program operations must be examined to determine the effectiveness of ESYP.

b. Local education agencies should examine the overall effectiveness of the program provided to all students in order to assist the agency in future planning.

2. Program effectiveness is evaluated from the individual student perspective, as well as system wide.

1. The ESY outcome data must be collected and reported no later than October 15. (A sample format and directions are on file at the department.)

2. The ESYP Outcome Report (on file at the department) has two purposes:

b. to serve as a means of evaluating overall program effectiveness (Section II, Program Evaluation).

i. The ultimate responsibility for reporting the ESYP outcome data to the SDE rests with the director/supervisor of special education; however, instructional personnel are responsible for reporting student outcomes to the director/supervisor.

ii. The portion of the ESYP outcome report for which instructional personnel have responsibility is that which includes information on student performance during the ESYP and on the services provided to students during the extended school year program (Section I, Student Performance).

iii. The director/supervisor must ensure that outcome data on students are entered into the Louisiana Network for Special Education Records (LANSER) by October 15th each year.
