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 27.78% (2014-2015 date, latest year available).  While an improvement over the prior year of 3.18%, this is still 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.
