Clarifying that previously acquired progress must have been demonstrated
Requiring the ARD committee to consider ESY at the annual IEP review
Adds that if a student who requires ESY withdraws from one district and registers in another one, the new district is responsible for ensuring those services are provided (could include direct provision of the services, contracting with the previous district or another entity)
(g) The admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee must make its decisions regarding a student's initial eligibility determination and, if appropriate, individualized education program (IEP) and placement within 30 calendar days from the date of the completion of the written FIIE report. If the 30th day falls during the summer and school is not in session, the ARD committee must meet not later than the 15th school day of the following school year to finalize decisions concerning the student's initial eligibility determination, and, if appropriate, IEP and placement. If the 30th day falls during the summer and school is not in session but an FIIE report indicates that the student would need extended school year services during that summer, the ARD committee must meet as expeditiously as possible after completion of the report.
