Extended School Services Program Information
Doss High School 2025-2026

The Extended School Services grant from KDE, 704 KAR 3:395, provides small group instruction for students struggling in one or more content areas. Each school receives funds to assist them in addressing the needs of students who need additional time and targeted intervention. Individual schools plan and implement ESS programs that meet the needs of their students.

ESS is intended to:
enhance the present level of performance of students who are having difficulty in one or more content areas.
provide additional instruction to students who are at risk of being retained and who are in danger of failing to graduate on time.
close the achievement gap of low-performing students.

Schools must provide an Out-of-School ESS program

Daytime Waiver
Schools with a Daytime Waiver from KDE may offer ESS services during the day outside of core instruction.

Student Eligibility
Schools shall notify parents/guardians of their child’s eligibility to be assigned to Extended School Services, including the manner in which a personalized student intervention plan and goals will be included as part of the student’s individual learning plan to help ensure that the student is able to achieve their academic and career goals.

Reconsideration of ESS Eligibility
If parents/guardians would like to request reconsideration of their child’s eligibility for Extended School Services, they may contact the local school ESS Coordinator or school counselor. If the request is not resolved, they may contact the District ESS staff for further assistance: 485-7019 or 485-6613.

Doss High ESS Plan
Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30 - 4:30
Begins November 10th, 2025; Ends May 7, 2026
