[quote=Anonymous]Similar to last summer, FCPS is having significant difficulty staffing ESY.  ESY starts June 27th and as of today, they have only hired 72% of the teachers and 57% of the IAs.   ((https://www.fcps.edu/academics/academic-overview/special-education-instruction/extended-school-year-esy-services)

My child has received ESY for several years. She has significant learning and physical needs and suffers severe regression without ESY.  In the IEP meeting, the PSL said that they were basing their decision on my child's progress this quarter towards her annual goals.

We are working with an advocate and I understand that we could do a "stay-put" to keep ESY from the last signed IEP.  [b]However, I am curious as to if other families that traditionally get ESY are being discouraged or denied ESY. [/b]It makes sense that FCPS might try to do this in an attempt to address the ESY staffing problems, but maybe I am missing something.

Not trying to start a debate about hiring for ESY. I know it's a hard job and that the teachers should be paid more! I also know the quality of FCPS ESY leaves much to be desired.
