125A.22 COMMUNITY TRANSITION INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE.
A district, group of districts, or special education cooperative, in cooperation with the county
or counties in which the district or cooperative is located, must establish a community transition
interagency committee for youth with disabilities, beginning at grade 9 or age equivalent, and
their families. Members of the committee must consist of representatives from special education,
vocational and regular education, community education, postsecondary education and training
institutions, mental health, adults with disabilities who have received transition services if such
persons are available, parents of youth with disabilities, local business or industry, rehabilitation
services, county social services, health agencies, and additional public or private adult service
providers as appropriate. The committee must elect a chair and must meet regularly. The
committee must:
(1) identify current services, programs, and funding sources provided within the community
for secondary and postsecondary aged youth with disabilities and their families;
(2) facilitate the development of multiagency teams to address present and future transition
needs of individual students on their individual education plans;
(3) develop a community plan to include mission, goals, and objectives, and an
implementation plan to assure that transition needs of individuals with disabilities are met;
(4) recommend changes or improvements in the community system of transition services;
(5) exchange agency information such as appropriate data, effectiveness studies, special
projects, exemplary programs, and creative funding of programs; and
(6) following procedures determined by the commissioner, prepare a yearly summary
assessing the progress of transition services in the community including follow-up of individuals
with disabilities who were provided transition services to determine postschool outcomes. The
summary must be disseminated to all adult services agencies involved in the planning and to
the commissioner by October 1 of each year.
