ESY stands for Extended school year, a K-12 education abbreviation.
Special education services provided beyond the regular school year, usually during summer, for students whose IEP team determines they would otherwise lose critical skills. ESY must be considered individually and cannot be limited to certain disabilities.
Example: The team agreed he qualifies for ESY to maintain his reading progress over the summer.
Usage notes
Decisions often weigh regression and recoupment: how much a student loses during breaks and how long it takes to regain skills. ESY is provided at no cost to families. It differs from general summer school, which is open to all students.
