USD 259 Extended School Year Policy -
Extended school year services are different that summer school, and
may or may not be provided in conjunction with the general education
summer school. ESY may be needed by a student, even though summer
school is not offered for general education students. The reason
for these services is to maintain skills on goals specified on the
student’s IEP and to prevent regression, which would impede such
progress. IEP teams need to decide individually as to whether a
student actually qualifies and has a need for this service.
Typically, teams look at the documentation of regression and the
amount of time taken to recoup lost skills to determine this need
