Department of Public Instruction

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is the state agency that advances public education and libraries in Wisconsin. Their goal is to ensure every child graduates ready for further education and the workplace. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WDPI) has developed a web-based Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP) that will assist school districts to document the post high school transition requirements while meeting individual student needs. In Wisconsin, state law requires transition planning to begin for your child at age 14 .

Visit the DPI Transition Page and the PTP Guide for Parents and Students for further information.

The Department of Public Instruction has created a series of handbooks to assist students with transition processes and services. These handbooks provide guidance and information regarding key areas of learning throughout the transition process to obtain successful outcomes.
