§7803-A. Transition services

Each school administrative unit shall provide an annual statement of the transition services needed by a student with a disability in transition enrolled in that unit. The statement of transition services must be provided to all students with disabilities in transition who are 16 years of age or older and enrolled in school and may be provided to younger students when the school administrative unit finds it necessary. When appropriate, a cooperative agreement among the department, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Corrections and the Department of Labor must be included as part of the annual statement describing the responsibilities of and coordination required by those agencies. If a cooperating agency fails to provide agreed-upon services, the school administrative unit may notify the chair of the committee, who may reconvene the cooperating agencies for the purposes of developing alternative strategies to meet the transition objectives. This section does not require any school administrative unit to provide noneducational services to students. [2009, c. 147, §5 (AMD).]
