Bill > HB892

This bill requires each school district to hire at least one full-time transition coordinator for each senior high school, with the potential for additional coordinators based on school population. The transition coordinator's primary role is to focus on helping students prepare for life after high school, particularly in terms of employment and career readiness. Specifically, the coordinator will develop individualized plans, build relationships with external entities, and implement services such as skill development, student placement, job coordination, and progress monitoring. The responsibilities align with the "Employment First Act" and include tasks like helping students develop career skills, creating personalized transition plans, coordinating job placements, arranging transportation, and monitoring student progress. The Department of Education is tasked with ensuring school districts comply with these requirements, and the bill defines the transition coordinator's role in detail to provide a clear framework for implementation. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage.
