[quote=Anonymous][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?)

Yup.  You would, of course, have the option of not enrolling in the summer program at all, and just taking your child to the location 3 hours a week.  If your IEP calls for 3 hours of services, you don't get 37 hours of summer programming for free.
(And where are these 40 hour a week summer schools?)[/quote]

yes this is true, but usually ESY is more one size fits all than anything else in special ed.  districts run an ESY program - 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, half day or whatever, and that's what every.single.kid. who gets ESY gets.  I imagine if you launch a huge fight and or sue someone you might get something in addition.  But usually since the bar for ESY is so high, it's less than what many kids who attend get during the school year (at least in the suburbs - I'd bet DC charter schools may have unique oddities in some cases).
