Education Programs & Secondary Transition

The Education Programs section in the Student Services Unit manages several of the state-supported systems that provide direct services to Oregon's programs, districts, and schools. The overall goal of this unit is to build capacity and improve systems and outcomes for diverse learners.

• Secondary Transition for Students with Disabilities

  The IDEA of 2004 requires the consideration of transition needs for students beginning not later than the first IEP to be in effect when the student is 16, and updated annually thereafter.

• Youth Corrections/Juvenile Detention Education Programs

  The Oregon Department of Education is responsible for providing educational services to youths in the Oregon Youth Authority Correctional and County Juvenile Detention Facilities, within Oregon.

• Long Term Care and Treatment Education Programs

  The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) contracts with local educational agencies to provide education programs for students who have been placed by other state agencies in day and residential treatment facilities.

• Transition Technical Assistance Network
