Do Schools Have to Offer Inclusive Extended School Year (ESY)?

What does the law actually say about inclusive Extended School Year (ESY) — and how could it impact your child? In this episode, Lindsay Crain, Head of Content and Community at Undivided, introduces a candid and important conversation led by Undivided’s Karen Cull. Karen is joined by David German, Partner at Vanaman German, and Melinda Bird, Senior Litigation Counsel at Disability Rights California, to break down the M.C. vs. LAUSD case — a case that raised serious concerns about disability discrimination in summer services. Together, they explore what this case means for students who require special education during the summer, how it could shape access to inclusive ESY programs, and what families should understand when advocating for their child’s rights. If you’ve ever questioned whether your child’s ESY services are truly inclusive — or what schools are legally required to provide — this conversation is a must-listen.
