Can students be provided with Extended School Year services to satisfy the requirement for Compensatory Education/Recovery Services?

While both services can be provided during the summer/school breaks, services designated as ESY services cannot satisfy the requirement for Compensatory Education/Recovery Services. The purpose of Compensatory Education/Recovery Services is to address the loss of a FAPE during the extended closure of school buildings due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose of ESY services is to ensure that the student maintains the critical life skills growth achieved during the regular school year in the following school year.
