The transition process will include a review of academic and behavioral records including, but not limited to, individual academic improvement plans, individual graduation plans, or individualized education plans (IEP), as applicable, in order to ensure that appropriate academic supports and opportunities remain available to the student.

2. The transition process will:
a. address appropriate behavior interventions and specific goals for behavioral progress;

b. define specific goals for academic progress, including Carnegie credits for grades 9-12;

c. outline a timeframe for updating IEPs for students with disabilities and individual accommodation/section 504 plans (IAP); and

d. provide a plan for students returning to the sending school including, but not limited to, bridge supports such as mentoring or counseling, to assist students in readjusting to a traditional school setting.
