Extended School Year Services Video
If a child who is eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA") needs
extended school year services ("ESYS") as part of the child's individualized education program
("IEP") to receive a free appropriate public education ("FAPE"), the child's school district, area
education agency, or both, must provide those services. See, e.g., Yaris v. Special Sch. Dist.,
728 F.2d 1055 (8th Cir. 1984). This document sets out the legal basis for the ESYS
requirement, as well as guidance for IEP Teams to consider in implementing that requirement.
