Extended School Year Services (ESY)
Extended school year (ESY) services are services provided beyond the regular school year that are necessary in order for a student to make educational progress during the school year. These services must be individually designed to meet specific objectives included in a student's individualized education program (IEP) and are part of what constitutes a free appropriate public education for the student who receives them. ESY services are not simply an extension of time in school, an automatic summer school placement, or a summer enrichment program.
