How is Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) addressed during ESY?
Whereas all legal requirements that apply to educational programs during the regular school year apply to ESY programs (including provision of services in the LRE), districts are not required to maintain the full continuum of placement options during Extended School Year. For this reason, students in ESY programs may receive their services in a different environment than they do during the regular school year.
