|
OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
Within each school
district’s comprehensive system of educational services, Title 16 of the Vermont
Statutes requires each public school to develop and maintain an educational support system (ESS) for children who require
additional assistance in order to succeed in the general education environment. Support
includes prevention, intervention, and pre-school services. The educational support
system is required to include an educational
support team
(EST) and a range of support and remedial services, including instructional and behavioral
interventions and accommodations. Act 117 requires each school board to assign responsibility
for developing and maintaining the ESS to the superintendent or principal. It also
requires each superintendent to annually report on the status of the ESS in their
schools including how funds, such as Medicaid, are used to support the ESS.
