FY 2016 Appropriation

The Extended School Year program provides "a longer school year for those students with disabilities whose regression over school breaks is so severe that an inordinate amount of time is necessary to recoup previous learning" (USOE Finance & Statistics, MSP Descriptions, November 2006). The program is restricted to severely disabled students, who, because of the severity of their disability will not maintain skills gained in the regular school year unless they receive education during the summer months.

Formula -- the program is funded on a WPU basis. WPUs are "derived from aggregate hours of extended year educational service" (USOE Finance & Statistics, MSP Descriptions, November 2006).
