2. California Code of Regulations (CCR) ESY services shall be provided for each child with a disability who has unique needs and requires special education and related services in excess of the regular academic school year. These children will have disabilities, which are likely to continue indefinitely or for a prolonged period, and interruption of the child’s educational programming may cause regression when coupled with limited recoupment capacity, rendering it impossible or unlikely that the child will attain the level of self-sufficiency and independence that would otherwise be expected in view of his or her disabling condition. The lack of clear evidence of such factors may not be used to deny a child an ESY program if the IEP team determines the need for such a program and includes ESY in the IEP pursuant to Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 3043(e) ). Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations § 3043. ...(a) Extended year special education and related services shall be provided by a school district, SELPA, or county office offering programs during the regular academic year.
