What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to create a pilot

program in the 2016-17 school year to pay for the employment of special education

job development specialists in a school district, consortia of school districts, or

cooperative educational service agency ("school district"). The special education job

development specialists will be responsible for identifying and developing paid jobs

for children with disabilities in the school district who have transition planning and

transition services in place. DPI must give preference in awarding funding to a

school district that has demonstrated below-average postsecondary employment

outcomes for children with disabilities in the preceding five school years.
