Transition Planning Survey Rationale
The monitoring priorities and indicators of the OSEP State Performance Plan (SPP) mandate that youth with IEPs aged 16 and above have an “IEP that includes appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age appropriate transition assessment, transition services, including courses of study that will reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals, and annual IEP goals related to the student’s transition service needs.”

Richard Woods, Georgia’s School Superintendent

Transition Planning Survey Rationale
“There also must be evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority.”
As a compliance indicator (Indicator 13), the target must be 100%.

• 4 plans: 3 compliant = 75%, 2 compliant = 50%...
• C size district
• 3 plans: 2 compliant = 67%, 1 compliant = 33%
