Council Member Rita C. Joseph inquires about accommodations and support for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in the Summer Rising program, particularly during the afternoon portion. Deputy Commissioner Susan Haskell explains the process for supporting these students.
- Every Summer Rising student with an IEP receives an accommodation plan for the summer.
- The accommodation plan outlines the services needed for full participation in both morning and enrichment parts of Summer Rising.
- For students requiring one-to-one paraprofessional support, recommendations are included in their accommodation plan.
- The Office of Students with Disabilities helps facilitate resources for students needing specific accommodations.

That would be recommended in their accommodation plan and our partnership with the Office of Students with Disabilities would help facilitate those resources.
