Welcome to the Lawrence Public Schools Transition Website
This site is your one-stop resource for understanding transition planning in Lawrence Public Schools. Here, students and families can learn what transition planning means, how it connects to the Individualized Education Program (IEP), and what supports are available throughout middle and high school.
You’ll find information about programs, community partners, and opportunities that help students build independence, develop skills, and prepare for life after high school.
