During the months of March and April it is important to have those necessary conversations about Extended School Year Services, if and when appropriate, for some children.
In the procedure manual, Transition: Early ACCESS (Part C) to Special Education (Part B) it states,
A child eligible for special education must be considered for extended school year services (ESYS) as necessary for the provision of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). ESYS are provided in accordance with the child's IEP; therefore discussion of ESYS occurs at the initial IEP meeting. If a decision to provide ESYS is made by the IEP team, the agreed upon services are documented on the IEP. [41.106]
Take time to look at the Statewide IEP Procedural Manul on pages 105-110 to understand all that's involved in determining ESYS. It's our responsibility to know the new state wide procedures!
