Calipatria Unified board approves Extended School Year waiver to serve seven students
Summary
After a public hearing with no comments, the Calipatria Unified School District Board approved an Extended School Year (ESY) waiver under CCR Title 5 §3043(b) to provide ESY services to seven students with disabilities; the motion passed April 14 by roll call.
The Calipatria Unified School District Board held a public hearing April 14 on a proposed Extended School Year (ESY) waiver to California Code of Regulations, Title 5, section 3043(b), which ordinarily requires a minimum of 20 school days for ESY for students with disabilities. The public hearing opened at 7:59 p.m.; there were no public comments.
Superintendent Angelita Ortiz told the board that seven students could benefit from ESY services and recommended the district request the waiver. The board approved the ESY waiver by motion (moved by Trustee Frank Perez; seconded by Trustee Diego Navarro) and the motion passed by roll call with six ayes and one absent trustee. The approval authorizes staff to provide ESY services in a schedule that differs from the Title 5 20-day minimum for these students.
The minutes record the hearing and approval but do not list the specific students’ services or ESY calendar details in the public record; those are to be implemented by special education staff consistent with state requirements and district practice.
