ESY Pioneer RESA TVI Staff Meeting February 8, 2013
Extended School Year Services ESY are special education services a student requires beyond a school systems’ regular school year in order to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE). The need for ESY is decided by the IEP team on an annual basis.
Regression / Recoupment • Regression Inability of student to maintain an acquired skill when special education or related services are interrupted • Recoupment Student’s capacity to recover those skills that have regressed to a level demonstrated prior to the break in instruction
Recoupment Period IEP Team decides what is reasonable period for recoupment for a particular student Generally Speaking for Most Students: • After summer break 20 days • After 2 week winter break 4 days
IEP Goals/Objectives • IEP team must identify which IEP goals/objectives require extension through ESY • ESY services are targeted and specific • Not a mere continuation of the school year instructional program
Documentation for ESY Based on Data • Progress monitoring on IEP goals/objectives • Data recorded & provided by parents • Data from another school district • Medical records indicating immediate need • Peer-reviewed professional literature that supports programming • Teaching methodology that documents year-round programming as integral component
ESY is NOT . . . • Automatically for all SWD • Summer school • For the convenience of the school or the parent • A replacement for a parent’s need for day care • Required automatically if child fails to achieve IEP goal during school year
ESY is NOT . . . • Required to continue instruction on all the IEP goals during the ESY period – only to focus on critical skills where regression has been documented • Intended to help SWD advance or “get ahead” in performance when compared with their peers • Intended to provide education beyond the identified IEP goals
