Section XCVII-701 - Overview
A. Extended school year (ESY) services are the provision of special education and related services to students with disabilities beyond the normal school year of the LEA.The LEA must utilize specific eligibility criteria to determine the need for extended school year services to ensure the provision of FAPE. Services are provided in accordance with an IEP and at no cost to the parents of the student.
B. Once a student's extended school year services have been planned through the IEP process, the services shall be implemented. LEAs should provide extended school year instruction in a location that is the least restrictive environment option for that student. The services necessary to meet the goals and objectives targeted on the ESY section of the IEP are to be provided.
C. Careful documentation should be kept in order to evaluate the student's performance and progress toward the completion of the ESY goals and objectives. Accurate records of student performance will assist the IEP Team in the upcoming school year to continue the educational program with a minimum of interruption and disruption.
D. Ongoing student performance assessment is always an integral part of any educational program, and it should be documented on appropriate data collection forms (e.g., grade book, checklist, task analysis form) and progress reports.
