Transition

The Kitsap County Transition Council meets regularly during the school year.  The Council's membership includes representatives from school districts, state and federal agencies as well as other community services.  Click on this link for a complete membership listing and contact information: Kitsap Regional Transition Council Membership 
 
The Transition Council goals are:
  1. To create awareness about transition issues among educators and to implement a system to inform and share information annually;
  2. To inform transition-age students and parents of post-school options; to reach a greater population;
  3. To conduct a review of available services, programs, and eligibility information for students. 
Each fall, the Transition Council sponsors a Parent Information Night at some of the following school districts:  Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Central Kitsap, North Kitsap, and South Kitsap.  Click on this link to see this years schedule:  Parent/Student Information Night Information 2011.
 
If your school does not have Parent Information Night scheduled in the current year, you are always welcome to attend at another school. Parents and students are invited to learn about the community agencies and services that are available to assist students with disabilities, and their families. 
 
A panel presentation includes representative from Kitsap County agencies, such as:
  • Division of Developmental Disabilities
  • Division of Vocational Rehabiliation
  • Olympic College
  • West Sound Technical Skills Center
  • Employment Services
  • Social Security, and more.
