Title
C9 - Interagency Transition Agreement for Children and Families Birth to Kindergarten - Facilitated by Florida's Transition Project/TATS
Description

The Interagency Transition Agreement for Children and Families Birth to Kindergarten provides for a seamless articulation for students with disabilities to school-age services, as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  

Gap Analysis

The interagency agreement links diverse community agencies and ensures a continuum of family-centered, coordinated services.

Without such a formalized agreement, there may be occasions in which students in Clay County do not transition from one agency’s care to another, leaving gaps in required services and supports.

Previous Outcomes

The interagency agreement has been in place for many years, linking successfully families with agencies.  The agreement supports Florida Statutes and federal requirements relating to youngsters birth to kindergarten.

Expected Outcomes

With the approval of this interagency agreement, students will transition seamlessly from birth to preschool-age services.  Agency collaboration will continue to support all aspects of identification, eligibility, and service provisions.

Strategic Plan Goal

1.1  Develop a high quality and aligned instructional system.

Recommendation

Approve the Interagency Transition Agreement for Children and Families Birth to Kindergarten
