Extended School Year Services (ESY)

"Extended school year services (ESY) services" means special education and related services that (34 CFR 300.106(b)) are provided to a child with a disability (34 CFR 300.106(b)(1)) beyond the normal school year of the public agency (CFR 300.106(b)(1)(i)in accordance with the child's individualized education program (IEP) (CFR 300.106(b)(1)(ii)) at no cost to the child (CFR 300.106(b)(1)(iii)).

The provision of ESY services is limited to the educational needs of the child and must not supplant or limit the responsibility of other public agencies to continue to provide care and treatment services pursuant to policy or practice, even when those services are similar to, or the same as, the services addressed in the child's IEP (19 TAC 89.1065(8)).
