What does Indicator #13 say?

Virginia Department of Education

“Percent of youth with IEPs aged 16 and above with 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 services needs. 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.” (20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B))

Indicator #13

How will you review files?


School divisions will report on IEPs developed between July 1 and June 30.

Each school division will review a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of IEPs for youth 16 and older, including students placed in other settings (private schools, employment, residential, etc).

Indicator #13

How will you review files?


Select records that represent: all ages, 16 through 21 all schools within the school division all disability categories proportionately

represented placements in settings outside of the

public schools

Indicator #13

How will you determine the number of files to review?


Determine the total number of students with IEPs in the school division that are 16 years and older.

Select for review 20% of the school division’s total special education population, 16 years and older.

Indicator #13

Here are some examples


If the school division’s special education population, 16 years and older is 400, then select 20% of the records for 400 students. 20% of 400 or .20 X 400 = 80

REVIEW 80 Records

There are 1250 students in the school division ages 16 and older who have IEPs so select 20% of the records for 1250 students. 20% of 1250 or .20 X 1250 = 250

REVIEW 250 RecordsIndicator #13

How will you represent all the disabilities and settings?


In selecting, identify records that proportionately represent each disability category within the school division (e.g., LD, OHI, VI, etc.).

In selecting, identify records from all schools within the school division with students 16 years and older, include students placed in other settings (school division placements in private schools, employment, residential, etc).

Here is an example


Review 80 records; Proportionate representation

LD: 70% 70% of 80 or .70 X 80= 56

HI: 1% 1% of 80 or .01 X 80= .8 1

ED: 9% 9% of 80 or .09 X 80= 7.2 7

Intellectual Disability: 5% 5% of 80 or .05 X 80 4

OHI: 12% 12% of 80 or .12 X 80= 9.6 10

Autism: 3% 3% of 80 or .3% X 80= 2.4 2Indicator #13
