Does Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) apply to ESY?
Extended School Year (ESY) services are designed to help eligible students receive the special education and related services they need beyond the regular school year.
Karen discusses how ESY programs may look different from traditional school-year placements.
But here's an important distinction: LRE requirements still apply to ESY, even when summer placement options are limited!
Parents, ask how your child's ESY services, placement, and individual needs were determined.
ESY decisions should always be individualized!
