On the Call: Extended School Year
When it comes to a school district’s responsibility to provide FAPE, summer vacation doesn’t hit pause. In this episode, Jeremy and Erin examine a case from Oregon, where a district’s denial of Extended School Year (ESY) services led to a FAPE violation due to the IEP team’s failure to follow district and state policies. They break down the key ESY requirements, how eligibility determinations vary across states, and practical strategies to help districts navigate ESY decisions effectively—ensuring compliance and avoiding costly missteps.
