1. ESY is an IEP team decision.

2. All districts must have ESY programs available for kids who qualify.

Now, you and I both know that yes, it's expensive and yes, admins review every program we offer our sped kids. But technically, the law says it's a team decision. Cost can't be a factor. If this ends up in court, the district will lose.
