The SUHSD operates on a year-round schedule with a 6-week summer break. The SUHSD asserts that due to its relatively short summer break, families and staff have difficulty committing to a four-week ESY program. The SUHSD asserts that operating ESY under the same three-week model as the general education summer school program will maximize attendance and staffing options. The SUHSD also asserts that it has learned from neighboring districts that a longer school day provides greater opportunities for instructional impact. Demographic Information: The SUHSD has a district student population of 40,000 and is located in an urban area in San Diego County. Because these are general waivers, if the SBE decides to deny the waivers, it must cite one of the seven reasons in EC 33051(a), available on the California Legislation Information Web page at . Summary of Previous State Board of Education Discussion and Action In the past, the SBE approved waivers to allow school districts to provide the required minimum amount of instruction in fewer days during the ESY for students with disabilities. ESY is the term for the education of students with disabilities “between the close of one academic year and the beginning of the next,” similar to a summer school. The ESY must be provided for each student with a disability whose IEP requires it. LEAs may request a waiver to provide an ESY program for fewer days than the traditional mode. Fiscal Analysis (as appropriate) There is no statewide fiscal impact of waiver approval. However, in order for an LEA to qualify for average daily attendance (ADA) revenues for extended year pupils, LEAs must comply with the ADA requirements in CCR, Title 5, Section 3043(f).
