The Extended School Services (ESS) program is a proactive program designed to assist individual students who are having difficulty in one or more content areas. ESS funds are allocated to every school district for the purpose of operating a program for students having short- or long- term academic difficulties. ESS programs offer extra instructional time outside regular school hours and may take a variety of formats including after school or before school programs, evening sessions, Saturday learning opportunities, summer programs and/or intersessions. Districts also have the opportunity to request a waiver to offer ESS services during the school day. There is close collaboration between the regular day program and the ESS program to best meet the student's needs. ESS programs being implemented across the state offer a wide array of curricular programs and instructional formats. Many of these programs are designed to gain the interest of and inspire motivation in students.
