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.” (20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B)) Virginia Department of Education Indicator #13
How will you review files? • School divisions will report on IEPs developed between July 1 and June 30. • Each school division will review a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of IEPs for youth 16 and older, including students placed in other settings (private schools, employment, residential, etc).

How will you review files? Virginia Department of Education • Select records that represent: • all ages, 16 through 21 • all schools within the school division • all disability categories proportionately represented • placements in settings outside of the public schools
