Sec.10-76d-3. Length of school day and year

(a) Unless otherwise specified in a child's individualized education program, the minimum school day and year for children with disabilities shall be the same as that for children in the general education program established by the board of education in accordance with section 10-16 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The PPT shall determine whether an individual child requires extended school day or extended school year services.

(b) Each board of education shall ensure that extended school day or extended school year services are available to each child with a disability in accordance with the IDEA. Each board of education shall ensure that consideration of such child’s eligibility for, and the content, duration and location of such child’s extended school year services is determined so as to allow the parent sufficient time to challenge the determination of eligibility, the program or the placement for such child before the beginning of the extended school year services for such child unless it is clearly not feasible to do so.
