  2. 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.

  3. What Extended School Year is… • An opportunity to maintain identified IEP goals and critical skills

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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 multiplefactors and must be supported by data.

  10. Considering All IEP Goals • Add ESY eligibility worksheet • With intent that all goals need to be on the form

  11. Multiple Eligibility Prongs • Retrospective Data • Archival Data • Predictive Data • Real time data • Data that can help predict the need

  12. Retrospective Data • Regression and Recoupment • Past regression and Recoupment • Significant Loss of Degree and Duration

  13. 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

  14. 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).

  15. 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

  16. Data for Regression Data that supports the amount of time it will take to re-learn the lost skill(s).

  17. 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.

Multiple Eligibility Factors:Predictive Data • Emerging Skills • Degree and nature of student’s disability • Rate of Progress on IEP Goals • Any physical or Behavioral concerns • Areas needing continuous attention • Vocational and transition needs • Alternative Resources • Anecdotal Reports • Data of daily performance

  20. Predictive DataEmerging Skills • Trend data: AIMSWeb, CRT, Speech samples, progress monitoring, • Critical learning point – may be included in this eligibility factor

  21. Emerging SkillsData on Critical Learning Point Data supporting student acquisition of a new skill after an extended time of repeated teaching of that skill

  22. Predictive DataNature and Severity • A student with a disability who requires a highly structured environment or consistent programming without substantial breaks in service(s) in order to make progress in the identified goal area(s) of concern.

  28. Predictive DataAlternative Resource • 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

  29. 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
