Bill Summary

AN ACT Relating to reducing duplication between high school and 2 beyond plans and individualized education program transition plans; 3 and amending RCW 28A.155.275 and 28A.230.212. 4

AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce redundancy by integrating a student's transition plan, which outlines post-high school goals for students with disabilities, with their High School and Beyond Plan, a comprehensive roadmap for all students' academic and career aspirations. Specifically, it mandates that the statewide online system for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), which are legal documents outlining special education services for students with disabilities, be able to incorporate a student's transition plan. This integration is intended to align with the existing online platform for High School and Beyond Plans, ensuring that these two crucial planning documents are as unified as possible to prevent duplication of effort for students, families, and educators.
