Section LVII-901 - Overview

A. Once a student's extended school year program has been planned through the extended school year IEP process, the program must be implemented. Provision of the ESYP requires consideration of both individual student needs and administrative concerns. During the regular school year, local education agencies operate all schools within their jurisdiction, while serving students in extended school year programs only a limited number of schools are in full operation, the number of full time staff members is reduced, and other limiting factors are in effect.

B. Although ESYP may present operational problems, local education agencies must provide all services to students as described on the ESY-IEP. To the maximum extent possible, local education agencies must provide extended school year instruction in a setting(s) that contributes to the student's integration and that is the least restrictive environment option for that student. The services necessary to meet the goals and objectives of the ESY-IEPs are to be provided.

C. Careful records should be kept in order to evaluate the student's performance and progress toward the completion of the ESY goals and objectives. Accurate records of student performance will assist the IEP team in the upcoming school year to continue the educational program with a minimum of interruption and disruption.

D. As during the regular school year, the ESY-IEP team must document instructional activities on lesson/activity plans. Ongoing student performance assessment is always an integral part of any educational program; it should be documented on appropriate data collection forms (e.g., grade book, checklist, task analysis form) and progress reports.
