Transition Services

The transition plan is the road map that facilitates the movement from high school to postsecondary. Through a high-quality transition plan, IEP teams develop actionable steps to make the student’s postsecondary goals attainable. The educational school setting prepares students for career and college readiness as soon as they enter the school system.

Prior to ninth grade, or age 14, all students will develop an initial four-year plan of focused and purposeful high school study. For students with disabilities, the plan of study must be developed within the IEP to be in effect when the student turns 14 (or younger, if determined appropriate by the IEP team). The plan will be reviewed annually and will connect the student's academic and career goals to school.
