Extended School Year (ESY) refers to an educational program that is provided to students with disabilities beyond the regular school year. The purpose of ESY is to prevent significant regression in the learning and skills gained during the regular school year, particularly for students with special needs or disabilities. The program is designed to support the individualized education plan (IEP) goals of students and ensure that they maintain the progress they have made. 

What types of Servies are Provided During ESY?

ESY services may include academic instruction, related services (such as speech therapy or occupational therapy), and other support services to prevent substantial regression in skills.

Is ESY Mandatory of Eligible Students?

ESY is designed for students with disabilities who require additional instructional time beyond the regular school year to prevent regression and maintain the skills they have learned. Eligibility for ESY is determined on an individual basis through the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP). 

How Can Parents Access Information About ESY?

Parents can contact their child's IEP team to inquire about ESY services. Information about ESY is often communicated through the IEP process and determined through a team approach analyzing undo regression or a lack of academic recoupment.
