Who is responsible for ESS?
Under Act 117 of 2000, superintendents or their designees are responsible for the ESS and are required to complete and submit annual reports to the Commissioner of Education. This report outlines the services and supports that are part of the ESS, how they are funded, and how building the capacity of the ESS has been addressed in the schools action plan. While superintendents have ultimate responsibility, it is important that all school personnel be familiar with the ESS supports of their school.
