Current Narrative:
The interagency agreement includes roles and responsibilities of each party. The agreement references each party's mandated transition responsibilities and outlines services and activities that each may have primary or shared responsibility to provide. This information is consolidated into a Collaborative Services Chart, which is summarized in the “CDE/DVR Cooperative Services Handbook for Youth in Transition”, which is broadly distributed annually to each partner and families of students with disabilities. The most recent agreement has been expanded to include Pre-ETS.
Additionally, the agreement clarifies that education is responsible for providing and funding equipment and services needed for a student to participate in secondary education. Goods or services that are needed for the student to achieve his or her employment outcome may be provided as a vocational rehabilitation service to an eligible individual. The agreement requires that both education and DVR clearly stipulate these responsibilities and agreements in both the IEP and the IPE.
