Not Participating in Extended School Year Services

What if the IEP team determines that a student is eligible for ESY services and the parent indicates the student will not be participating due to other summer commitments? According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, if ESY is in the child's IEP and the parent refuses the services, then the school district should consider whether a truancy report is in order, or if another IEP meeting should be held. School districts should anticipate far enough in advance so that parents can be informed and plan activities around these service times.
