Kentucky Department of Education

These Guidelines provide brief information about key elements of the ESS statute and regulation.  It also provides basic guidance for implementing the program in the areas of selection of students, student participation, appropriate instructional programming, parental support, and fiscal/program accountability.  As in all programs, attention must be paid to key elements of a program if it is to be a truly effective.  Coordinators at both the district and building levels are encouraged to review this part of the guidelines with ESS teachers and school councils as a means of acquainting them with the structure of the ESS program and as a means of self-evaluation of its implementation.

 

These Guidelines also provide KDE answers to a wide variety of questions often posed by local staff within school districts, parents, and related agencies.
