8. ESY…Its Time!!! We will continue to do right by our students We will continue to use this opportunity for staff development activities HOWEVER… We must be true to qualifying only those who require it.

9. ESY…Its Time!!! Some assumptions…. Most all students will regress during an extended break (use it or lose it…right?) Most all students would benefit from a summer educational experience.

10. ESY…Its Time!!! ESY is for…. students who require services over the summer….without which they would not be able to receive FAPE during the school year.

11. ESY…Its Time!!! Or another way… student would not receive meaningful educational benefit from his/her program absent ESY services.

12. ESY…Its Time!!! ESY- is still the exception, not the rule. The decision is made by the IEP Team Not be based on disability label Not be based on program placement Not based on prior receipt of services

13. ESY…Its Time!!! ESY- decision is based on data collected when there is significant concern regarding skill maintenance during a break in service. Factors: 1) Regression & Recoupment 2) Nature and Severity of Disability 3) Critical Stage or Area of Learning
