Aging Out: The School District's Role in the Transition from School to Adult Services.
New York State Education Dept. Albany. Office for the Education of Children with Handicapping Conditions.
When students with handicapping conditions reach the age of 21 or attain a high school diploma, it is necessary for them to make a transition from educational services to adult services in the form of employment, sheltered workshops, residential programs, etc. This volume assists local school districts in complying with their regulatory responsibilities to provide aging-out students with referrals to appropriate adult service agencies, as required under Section 200.4(h), (i) and (j) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education of New York. It outlines school district responsibilities for out-of-state students, in-state residential students, and in-state nonresidential students. For each type of student, an action checklist gives guidelines for identification of eligible students, notification, request for consent, referral, and annual reports. It also provides information on the state agencies to which students are referred for adult services, noting the addresses, telephone numbers, the types of services available, and the populations served. Appendices contain sample notification and consent letters, a referral form, guidelines for compilation of student records, and annual reporting forms. (JDD)
