Extended School Year Services Under the IDEA and Section 504: Legal Standards and Case Law — eBook Version
Can we? Do we have to? What if we don’t? This plain-language resource explains your IDEA and Section 504 obligations for ESY services in relation to eligibility, IEPs, summer school, and more — so you can ensure compliance and avoid ESY implementation failures and denials of FAPE.
Along with updates based on OCR's 2025 Case Processing Manual, educators and IEP teams will gain an understanding of:
- Applying the regression/recoupment analysis to determine eligibility
- Providing ESY services outside of the summer break
- How the least restrictive environment mandate applies to ESY
- Proper documentation of the provision of ESY services
- And more
You also get 100+ case summaries — including recent decisions — illustrating how courts, hearing officers, and OCR are currently treating ESY issues, plus new model forms, charts, tools, and checklists for everyday use.
