IHCA Extended School Year Services for Sudents with Disabilities

EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
IEP determinations to provide extended school year services shall be made based on the likelihood that during school vacation periods a student is at risk of losing skills previously mastered and of being unable to recoup those skills within a reasonable time. In providing extended-year services, the school system shall provide special education and related services to address only those areas of a disabled student's IEP in which that risk exists.
NOTE: Parents and teachers may observe a student's skills and adjustments prior to and upon
return from school vacations to develop data to assist in their determination. The Pupil
Evaluation Team determinations to provide special education beyond the normal school
year will be made on an individual basis and shall be part of the student's Individualized
Education Program.
