ESY - Extended School Year
Special Services ESY 2020
Most services will run during these dates and times:
Dates: July 6, 2020 - August 13, 2020
Times: 8:00-1:00*
*Service(s) length and duration is individualized per the student’s IEP. Service times will be based on staffing.
The general standard of eligibility for extended school year services is that the student will not be able to continue to make meaningful educational progress during the school year unless extended school year services are provided. This is based specifically on the concepts of “significant regression” and “recoupment.”
Significant Regression: All students lose some skills during the summer. In determining eligibility for ESY services, it is necessary to show that the student would regress more than the amount that would be expected for any student.
Limited Recoupment: All students need some time at the beginning of a school year to re-learn the skills they have lost during the summer. In determining eligibility for ESY services, it is necessary to show that it would take longer for the student with disabilities to regain skills than it would for students without disabilities.
ONLY the IEP Team can make the determination for ESY and ONLY the IEP Team can determine the length of time for ESY services, and the services themselves.
