Spring‑Ford outlines extended school‑year program for about 240 students with IEPs
Summary
Assistant superintendent Dr. Murray told the board the district’s Extended School Year program runs July 1–31, 9 a.m.–1 p.m., at the 56 Flex Building and will serve about 240 students from the district to prevent regression of IEP goals.
Dr. Murray, the assistant superintendent, told the Spring‑Ford Area School District board on June 16 that the district’s Extended School Year (ESY) services for students with Individualized Education Programs are scheduled for July 1–31 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the 56 Flex Building.
"The purpose of extended school year services for special education students is to prevent significant regression of skills during school breaks," Dr. Murray said, describing ESY as intended for students who are at risk of losing critical academic, social or behavioral skills without summer instruction.
The nut graf: the district will operate a monthlong ESY session to maintain students’ progress toward IEP goals. Dr. Murray reported an enrollment of approximately 240 district students for this summer’s program.
Program details provided in the report: ESY runs July 1–31, daily 9 a.m.–1 p.m., at the 56 Flex Building; the program is intended to support progress on IEP goals and reduce skill regression during the summer break. No budget or staffing details were provided in the verbal report at the June 16 meeting.
Dr. Murray closed the report by saying the district looks forward to another year of services. No board action was taken; the report was informational.
