When is it required that students with disabilities must attend summer school?
An extended school year may be necessary when a student is likely to experience a decline in areas of learning that are crucial to his or her reaching self-sufficiency and independence during extended breaks. If the loss is expected to be so severe that the student would not be able to regain the losses in a reasonable period of time, or would not be able to reach the planned educational goals, then the extended school year should be provided.
