BP 6001 – Transition Services
with other specialized programs that serve students who face barriers to successful transition.
Interagency agreements sha ll contain a description of the scope of the agency’s services, eligibility criteria, and funding. Services will be coordinated to serve students who face a barrier to a successful transition from school to adult living. The case carrier will review student abilities and challenges and, with the consent of the parent or the student if the student has attained the age of majority, will invite appropriate agency representatives to the IEP annual review. The notice to parents and, in cases where the student is 18 or older, to the student, shall contain notification of the agency’s participation in the IEP meeting. It is clear that the inclusion of agency participation in the student’s transition planning should start prior to the last year of the student’s high school education. Interagency access is accomplished through the IEP process. All students have the right to access services offered by the community agencies; however, the school system is not financially responsible for services beyond the scope of the IEP. Methods chosen to accomplish written goals are at the discretion of the education professionals.
Interagency Agreements are located in Chapter 12 of the DMSELPA policy manual.

DMSELPA Managed Programs
The Career Technical Education (CTE) team currently operates the programs listed below. These programs are not mandated under state law but are available to students who meet criteria for each program. • California Career Innovations (CCi). The core and research interventions serve as the framework for CCi and provide an array of opportunities available to students. Embedded within each of these interventions are multiple activities and tasks. The interventions are guided by a person-driven approach leading to Person-Driven Plans (PDPs) and Individualized Career Action Plans (ICAPs). The ultimate outcomes for CCi students are Postsecondary Education (PSE) and/or Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) in a career related position. • Employment Network (EN). The goal of EN is to help individuals become employed and work their way off benefits completely, but not immediately. EN can offer adults returning to the workforce a clear vision of what to expect concerning their disability benefits. Information about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) rules and procedures are clearly explained. Pre-employment assistance, job development, and SSA benefits planning, provide individuals returning to work the necessary services and supports to be successful.
