When and How Should an IEP Team consider ESY Services for students?
• Based on DPI Bulletin No. 96.01, the local school district is not required to consider extended school year services for every child at every IEP team meeting. However, when an IEP team member raises the ESY issue, then the IEP team must determine whether the child requires extended school year services in order to receive a free appropriate public education. • Since The IEP team considers all appropriate factors in determining whether the progress a student has made during the regular school year will be significantly jeopardized if the student is not provided ESY services, These IEP meetings must take place toward the later part of the regular school year (typically, during the months of April or May). • If ESY services are needed in order for the student to receive a FAPE, the student’s IEP must include the specific special education and related services to be provided during the extended school year, and the frequency, location, amount, and duration of those services.
