What Do Parents Need to Do Before the End of the School Year?

During our live event, Clarisse O asked in the chat window, “What if ESY was offered but it is not an appropriate setting for the child? The child is in a general ed classroom with supports, but ESY is only SDC classrooms. There will be regression. However, putting the child in the right placement in ESY may not be a great setting. Is there a way we can ask for summer tutorial or other services from school?”

Undivided Navigator Iris Barker responded, “This is so true! SO many times we are offered ESY but in SDC. We brought this up to our school district, and they were going to give us a spot in their typical kids' summer program with an aide. It is worth asking!”

It’s important to note that if your child attends a non-public school (NPS), they are still part of the school district. The district is responsible for ensuring that their needs are met, so your child may be eligible for recoupment.
