Attachment 2: Waiver 23-1-2018 Hanford Elementary School District California Department of Education WAIVER SUBMISSION - General CD Code: 1663917 Waiver Number: 23-1-2018 Active Year: 2018 Date In: 1/26/2018 10:39:45 AM Local Education Agency: Hanford Elementary School Address: 714 North White St. Hanford, CA 93230 Start: 6/11/2018 End: 6/28/2018 Waiver Renewal: Y Previous Waiver Number: 32-2-2017-W-14 Previous SBE Approval Date: 11/11/2017 Waiver Topic: Special Education Program Ed Code Title: Extended School Year (Summer School) Ed Code Section: 33050 Ed Code Authority: CCR3043 (d) Education Code or CCR to Waive: An extended year program shall be provided for a minimum of 20 instructional days, including holidays. Outcome Rationale We are located in the San Joaquin Valley in a rural community. In the later part of the summer, the heat can soar to above 110 degrees, causing the afternoons to be unbearable. These hot summer days can be difficult for students to actively participate in learning with such heat. Not to mention when the Air Quality Index in in the unhealthy range, especially for our students with significant disabilities and health conditions. In addition, the heat causes great strain on already overworked air condition units. With prior successful waivers in past few years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of students who begin the program and remain during the entire duration of the program. Prior to our adjustment to the ESY program (and approval from the CDE), many students dropped out of ESY due to the heat and the length of the extended school year program. However, since we have been approved for the waiver, parents, students and staff report that length, duration and quality of the program has improved
