Special
Education Extended School Year Program
|
The Schalmont Central School District Extended Year Program is
available for eligible students with disabilities. The Committee
on Special Education (CSE) must determine whether a student
requires extended school year services in order to prevent
substantial regression. Substantial regression (a
loss of eight weeks or more over a period of eight weeks) would
be indicated by a student’s inability to maintain developmental
levels due to a loss of skill, set of skill competencies or
knowledge during the months of July and August.
Students are considered for 12-month special services and/or
programs to prevent substantial regression if they are:
- Students
whose management needs are determined to be highly intensive
and require a high degree of individualized attention and
intervention, and who are placed in special classes;
- Students
with severe multiple disabilities whose programs consist
primarily of habilitation and treatment, and who are placed
in special classes;
- Students
recommended for home instruction whose special education
needs are determined to be highly intensive and require a
high degree of individualized attention and intervention, or
who have severe multiple disabilities and require primarily
habilitation and treatment;
- Students
whose needs are so severe that their needs can only be met
in a seven-day residential program; or
- Students
receiving other special education services who, because of
their disabilities, exhibit the need for 12-month special
service and/or program to prevent substantial regression.
The IEP for the extended school year
program may differ from the IEP developed for the school year
program. The CSE determines the type and amount of services that
a student needs for an appropriate extended school year program.
The IEP developed for the extended school year program should
focus on the areas in which the student is expected to
experience regression. The IEP for the July-August program
should indicate those areas where the student needs services to
prevent substantial regression.
A small percentage of
students will require related services only or itinerant
specialized instruction in order to prevent substantial
regression. In this instance, these services will be
scheduled on an individual basis.
