EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR SERVICES
The application for extended school year services consists of two parts. This is necessary because the period of time during which extended school year services may be provided transcends two fiscal years.
Part One covers the period of time from the close of the current school year through June 30. Payments must be made in June, prior to the close of the fiscal year. Requests for reimbursement must be received in the Special Education Office by May 31, 2001.
Part Two covers the period from July 1 through August 31. Part Two requests for reimbursement are due in the Special Education Office no later than September 14, 2001. Payments will be made in October.
The reimbursement rate will be $20 per day per student. Should total requests exceed the amount of available funds, the amount per day will be prorated.
To qualify for reimbursement, the district assures the following:
- The students served have been determined eligible in accordance with the guidelines for extended school year services as stated in section 19 of Special Education and Related Services: Procedural Requirements and Program Standards.
- The program is provided for the identified students listed and the amount of time stated in the application.
