Transition services for students with disabilities are required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  The Transition Coach will support the enrollment of students with disabilities in area colleges, coordinate with Clay County School personnel, and collaborate with families.

The percentage of students with disabilities who had active Individual Education Plans (IEP) at the time they left school and were found enrolled in higher education within one year of leaving school was 17.98% (2016-2017 date, latest year available).  This remains an area of focus.

The Transition Coach has supported students with disabilities since 2014.  Students have successfully transitioned to post -secondary education with this additional layer of support.

Continue to successfully enroll and maintain students with disabilities in post-secondary institutions.  This requires providing logistical support to families and active collaboration with the staff at local post-secondary institutions.

1.3  Prepare all students to be full option graduates who are prepared for college, eligible to enlist in military services, or able to compete in the workforce.
