Indicator 13• Percent of youth with IEPs aged 16 and above with an IEP that includes
appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that are annually updated and based upon an age appropriate transition assessment, transition services, including courses of study, that will reasonably enable the student to meet those postsecondary goals, and annual IEP goals related to the student’s transition services needs. There also must be evidence that the student was invited to the IEP Team meeting where transition services are to be discussed and evidence that, if appropriate, a representative of any participating agency was invited to the IEP Team meeting with the prior consent of the parent or student who has reached the age of majority.

Transition Assessment
Transition Assessment
• Transition assessment is the ongoing process of collecting data on the individual’s needs, preferences, and interests as they relate to the demands of current and future working, educational, living, and personal and social environments. (From: Sitlington, Neubert, & Leconte, Career Development for Exceptional Individuals, 1997, p. 70-71)
Examples: Transition Assessment IGP/ILP
Career Awareness, Student Interest Inventory, Matchmaker, School Matchmaker

Directions for Review of Records
• Student records must be selected randomly.
• For Item #49, at least 10% of records of students age 16 and older are selected.
• No more than 50 records are required to be reviewed. If the district has 10 or fewer records for Item #49, then all student records for that item must be reviewed.
Violations of IDEA that can be remedied During the record review process, districts may find items in student records that are violations of IDEA. Some of these violations may be remedied depending on the nature of the violation.
If remedied prior to submission of the KCMP data to KDE, the violation is considered corrected. It is not reported in the district’s KCMP report as noncompliant.
In most cases it will be necessary to convene an ARC to remedy the violation. The documentation of the ARC must reflect authentic and appropriate processes and remedies.
Correction of Noncompliance
Correction of NoncomplianceExamples of violations that may be remedied include:
• Failure to document postsecondary goals in the IEP (#49a)• Failure to document transition services in the IEP (#49b)• Failure to invite outside agencies (with prior consent) to the ARC meeting to discuss transition (#49c)• Failure to document the student’s multi-year course of study (#49e)• Failure to link annual goals to related postsecondary goals (#49f)• Failure to document evidence of transition assessment (#49g)• Failure to invite the student to the ARC meeting to discuss transition (#49h)
Correction of NoncomplianceViolations of IDEA that are reported as noncompliance on KCMP Some violations of IDEA identified during the district’s record review cannot be remedied in individual student records due to the nature of the violation. These must be reported as noncompliant in the district’s KCMP report.
Correction of NoncomplianceExamples include:
• inviting outside agencies to ARC meetings prior to obtaining parent consent (#49d)
• missing the timeline for updating postsecondary goals annually (#49i)
• not having transition requirements in the IEP by the student’s 16th birthday (#50)
Correction of NoncomplianceThough these violations cannot be remedied, the district must correct the noncompliance in the individual student’s record, unless the student is no longer under the district’s jurisdiction. For example, failure to meet the timeline for an IEP with transition requirements met by 16th birthday cannot be remedied; however, it can be corrected for that student by ensuring an appropriate IEP is in place, though out of timeline. Systemic correction may also be required. The KCMP Instruction Manual for Indicators 13 will address this for the upcoming year.
