DPI is EMPHATICALLY stating that they are formally requiring ALL districts to use the PTP for all transition plans

A stern release from Wendi Dawson at DPI

The following has been brought to my attention:

“I have had the request that DPI write a letter to building principals. Apparently there has been some denial that the PTP is required by the state and some principals have said that they will NOT use it in their buildings.”

DPI has sent out formal letters to ALL district administrators and directors of spec ed. A copy of these letters can be found here: http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/pdf/spp13-webbased-iep-fall.pdf and another district correspondence letter can be found here: http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/pdf/spp13-webbased-iep.pdf

You are welcome to forward these letters onto whomever is not in belief that DPI is formally requiring ALL districts to use the PTP for all transition plans created for students age 14 and older or earlier if determined appropriate by the IEP team. We will be monitoring and following up with districts that are not set up and using the PTP by the end of November. The use of the PTP is replacing the Indicator 13 assessment previously required through the annual assessment in 11-12SY and the self-assessment cycle previous to that.
