Extended School Year
Canyons School DistrictSpecial Education
What Extended School year is not…
ESY is not summer school. ESY is not a remedial program. ESY is not an enrichment program. ESY is not a respite program. ESY is not provided for the purpose
of helping students with disabilities “catch up” to their peers.
What Extended School Year is…
An opportunity to maintain identified IEP goals and critical skills
Eligibility Considerations
Eligibility for ESY is determined by the IEP team
ESY is an extension of FAPE as provided in the IEP
If the IEP team determines that ESY services are needed for the student to receive FAPE, the district must stand ready to provide those services
Students to consider for ESY
All students receiving special education and related services are to be considered for possible eligibility
Eligibility must not be based on the disability category of the student
All IEP goals must be considered, not just goals relating to independence
Goalview IEP Disclosure to Parents
( ) your child is eligible for ESY services( ) your child is NOT eligible for ESY services( ) your child’s eligibility will be determined later
Amending the IEP Determine ESY eligibility based on the IEP team decision.
During the annual IEP, indicate on the IEP the team decision about ESY.
Amend IEP when necessary: Remember, during the IEP, if you select “your child’s eligibility will be determined later,” you need to
Reconvene the IEP team which includes the parents Look at your data and the factors for eligibility change the IEP to “is eligible for ESY services” or “is not
eligible for ESY services” via an amendment. Determination needs to be done by April 1st.
As much as possible assess for ESY at the time of the IEP meeting and select “does qualify or does not qualify” to avoid having to amend the IEP later
Qualifying for ESY
ESY is an IEP team decision All students who have an IEP must be
considered for ESY services by the IEP team regardless of categorical disability classification
The team must base the decision on the basis that the services are necessary for the provision of FAPE.
Qualifying for ESY (cont’d.)
ESY services are connected to a specific IEP Goal
Canyons School District ESY eligibility decisions reflect student need based on multiple factors and must be supported by data.
Considering All IEP Goals
Add ESY eligibility worksheet With intent that all goals need to
be on the form
Multiple Eligibility Prongs
Retrospective Data Archival Data
Predictive Data Real time data Data that can help predict the need
Retrospective Data
Regression and Recoupment Past regression and Recoupment
Significant Loss of Degree and Duration
Retrospective DataRegression/Recoupment
Regression: inability of a student to maintain acquired skill in an identified goal area of concern Recoupment: capacity to recover those skills that have regressed to a level demonstrated prior to the break in instruction
Definition cont.
This regression / recoupment concern must be aligned to existing IEP goal content areas.
Students who can recoup those skills with re-teaching in a reasonable amount of time, are not eligible for ESY service(s).
Recoupment Guideline
Consider using ½ the time of the duration of the break
For example: If the break is twelve calendar days the recoupment period might be 6 days
Data for Regression
Data that supports the amount of time it will take to re-learn the lost skill(s).
Retrospective DataRegression/Recoupment
If you find solid Regression Recoupment Data you may Qualify them with that Goal.
Remember to look at all IEP Goals. IF not, You must qualify them with
at least 2 other factors in a particular goal.
Retrospective DataImpeding Progress
Data that shows a significant loss of degree and duration as to impede progress.

Circumstantial considerations based on information about unique situations in the student’s home, neighborhood, or community, including those such as:
The ability of the student to interact with nondisabled students
What this could look like:
It could be that a Special Ed teacher could send home materials to work on during breaks in school.
If a stander is needed to work on PT goals and the parents are unable to provide services, ESY may be appropriate in order to provide FAPE
When should ESY data be collected
