Postsecondary Goals Students of transition age must have further
education and employment postsecondary goals Independent living optional
Students have input and write goals based on answers to three questions: Where do I want to live after completing high
school? What type of work do I want to do after
completing high school? How do I want to learn to do my job after
completing high school? Need to be updated annually

Travis Pace v. the Bogalusa City School Board (2001)
Parents allege the school district did not invite other agencies to the transition planning meeting
The district documented contact with state and local agencies, yet scheduling conflicts arose
SCHEDULING CONFLICTS MAY PRECLUDE ATTENDANCE BY AGENCIES, HOWEVER, SCHOOL MUST DOCUMENT THE CONTACT AND AGREED UPON SERVICES, AND PARENTS MUST BE NOTIFIED OF POSSIBLE SERVICES
![Page 62: Using Transition Assessment Results to Write Transition Plans](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e30550346895d93941d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Caribou School Department (2001)
The student was not invited to the transition meeting
The transition plan stated “Graduation” as the postsecondary goal for the student
“TRANSITION PLANNING MUST BE MORE THAN GRADUATION.” The student was awarded college tuition, incidental costs of college attendance, and tutoring services.
![Page 63: Using Transition Assessment Results to Write Transition Plans](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e30550346895d93941d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Sherri High et al v. Exeter Township School District The student’s postsecondary education goal
was to attend college The plan included 32 opportunities for transition
counseling, transition assessment, job shadowing and internship, assistance with college testing, and career fair attendance.
The student did not complete college While the district helped the student identify
her desire to attend college, the district was not required to ensure she was successful in this pursuit.
![Page 64: Using Transition Assessment Results to Write Transition Plans](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e30550346895d93941d/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Student with a Disability, 51 IDELR 89 (N.Y. SEA 2008) Parents filed due process, alleging that the district failed to
provide an appropriate transition plan. The transition plan contained “attend a postsecondary
institution for a Master of Science degree, live independently, and be competitively employed.”
The school argued the academic goals were linked to the post-school goal to attend college with math and writing goals.
The transition plan was deemed appropriate. Transition services should relate to the student’s post-school goals and annual goals must be linked to that goal.
![Page 65: Using Transition Assessment Results to Write Transition Plans](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e30550346895d93941d/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Lancaster Independent School District (1998) Transition services were offered in the last semester of
high school Parents stated, “It was unreasonable to expect a
student operating on a sixth grade level, in his strongest subject, to take the SAT or know how to start a cosmetology business.”
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS ORDERED TO PROVIDE THE RECOMMENDED COUNSELING SERVICES AND TO CONDUCT EVALUATIONS TO DETERMINE WHICH ADDITIONAL TRANSITION SERVICES WERE NEEDED.

San Diego Unified School District, 2002 A parent of an 18 year-old with Down Syndrome
alleged an inappropriate reading program was a barrier to the student’s post-school employment.
The school district focused on learning sight words in the community and first-grade books
HEARING OFFICER RULED THAT NO ONE TAUGHT THE STUDENT THE READING SKILLS NEEDED FOR SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT AND INDEPENDENT LIVING, INCLUDING “JOB APPLICATION, JOB DESCRIPTION, MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION, BUS SCHEDULES, MAPS, STORE PRICES, AND FOOD LABELS.” THE DISTRICT PAID FOR A 1-YEAR INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM.
