[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but trying to understand.

So if one had ESY goals that required 2 hours of speech langauge instruction and 1 hour of OT to meet, and these were delivered as part of a regular summer school program, you could be charged for the other 37 hours of time per week the same as any other family who was enrolled in the summer program (assuming the school doesn't offer free summer school to anyone?)

I dont know about other districts, but in Fairfax County, the ESY is half day for four weeks in the summer.  When DC was offered it, it was three hours, one for reading, one for math and one for social skills.  It was all or nothing. I assume a student who qualified for OT or other serices would get them at the expense of one of the other three.  It was also a 45 minute bus trip each way (I was curious so I looked and there were 34 other ES schools closer to our house than the one they chose for his ESY, (in additon, funnily, closer to more ES  in DC, Montgomery county and Arlington).  DC only needed the reading hour and they would not guarantee the reading program that would be used but basically said it would be highly unlikely to be the one thathe used during the year. So for five hours of his day he would receive the reading for one hour, but not in the program that was working and which he was already familiar and it would only cover four of the eleven weeks of the summer.  So, we declined and upped his private tutoring to three times a week for the summer, in addition to supplementing at home.

If there are programs that fill in the rest of the day, they would be pay as you go.

Summer school is different and volunary, which is why it is pay to play.[/quote]
