What is the responsibility of the school district when a student moves into the district during the summer and has extended school year (ESY) services on their IEP?
The school district into which the child has moved has the responsibility to provide FAPE for the child once they have knowledge the child is a resident and he/she enrolls in their school. If the district has staff available, they would proceed with transfer procedures as outlined in Document F of the Special Education Compliance Program Review Standards and Indicators Manual for either transferring from another district within the state or transferring from a district out of the state. The appropriateness of the ESY services in the previous District’s IEP would be one of the considerations when deciding whether to accept or reject that entire IEP as written. If ESY services were determined necessary (either those listed and accepted from the previous IEP or those documented on a new IEP developed by the receiving district) the district would provide these. In situations where there are no special education staff available at the time of the referral to conduct the transfer procedures
