SUMMER SCHOOL

In accordance with School Board Policy 2.37, the School District Superintendent may provide
for appropriate summer school programs in the annual school budget as the budget allows
and shall provide summer programs as required by law.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THIRD GRADE SUMMER READING ACADEMY
In accordance with Florida Statute § 1008.25(7)(a)(b), the purpose of the Third Grade Summer
Reading Academy is to provide extended instructional services and support to students who
do not score a Level 2 or higher on the ELA Florida Standards Assessment (as reported by
FLDOE). Extended intensive interventions that will include effective instructional strategies,
and appropriate teaching methodologies necessary to assist those students in becoming
successful readers, able to read at or above grade level, and ready for promotion to the next
grade, will be provided.

EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR (ESY) FOR Students with Disabilities
Extended School Year (ESY) for elementary, middle, and high school services provides specially
designed instruction and related services to an ESE student beyond the normal school year of
the School District, in accordance with the student’s IEP. ESY services must meet State
Educational Standards and are always at no cost to the parent(s). [State Board of Education
Rule 6A-6.03028 (3)(g)(11)]

ESY must be considered for all students receiving ESE services pursuant to the IEP. A student’s
IEP Team will determine the goals and objectives during the specified ESY period, using the
current IEP and documentation of progress.

In accordance with State Board of Education Rule 6A-6.03028(3)(g)(11), at least annually, an
IEP Team for each ESE-eligible student must consider whether ESY services are necessary for
the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to the student. ESY services must
be provided if a student’s IEP Team determines, on an individual basis, that the services are
necessary for the provision of a FAPE to the student. The IEP Team will determine the goals
and objectives using the current IEP and documentation of progress. The SDPBC may not limit
ESY to particular categories of disability or unilaterally limit the type, amount, or duration of
those services.
