RELATED OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE: During the school year <strong>2008</strong>-<strong>2009</strong>, the Special Education Task Force will review current<br />

practices regarding student Transition Services as a K-12 endeavor. The goal will be to discuss current and best practices, state and<br />

federal education department regulations, and the best interests of students as they pertain to the transition of students at many<br />

different levels. It is expected that the outcome of these meetings will be the development of a multi-year, department-wide plan that<br />

will coordinate existing transition planning efforts, and propose new or enhanced transition services to students, parents and <strong>BOCES</strong><br />

Programs throughout the continuum, as well as services to districts to support their instruction of an ever-growing included population<br />

in our region.<br />

DESCRIPTIVE NARRATIVE: The Director of Special Education will work with representatives of the various stakeholders that<br />

comprise the Special Education Task Force, with a goal of discussing current and best practices, state and federal education<br />

department regulations, and the best interests of students as they pertain to the transition of students at many different levels. The<br />

committee will meet to study regional enrollment trends, emerging directions in the field, and identify areas of service need for our<br />

students and/or local districts that might lead to new <strong>BOCES</strong> programs and/or services. Proposals developed through this committee<br />

will consider current program locations and service delivery sites to assure increased integration opportunities. The Committee will<br />

also consider state and federal regulations, emerging trends in the area of transition, and expansion of transition services throughout<br />

the continuum, focused on career awareness, movement throughout the continuum of services, possible return to district programs<br />

and eventual adult post-graduation outcomes.<br />
