The plan must consider the environment into which the resident will return, and recommend how the resident may deal with issues and potential challenges within that environment. The plan must be developed with input from the resident, the resident's family members, if appropriate, the providing school district, and the persons who will provide support services to the resident upon release. A copy of the plan must be given to the resident and to the school, or to the residential treatment facility that the resident will attend or is placed in after release.
