TRANSITION INFORMATION

Life after high school can be uncertain territory for any parent. Navigating between a community college, four year universities, living at home, living independently, on-the-job training, supported employment, or entering the military can be difficult. For student with learning difficulties, this transition adds another level of obstacles and questions. Marshall CUSD #C-2 provides transition services to all students who receive special education and related services at the age of 14 ½ and above. These services aim to guide students to the resources and linkages to necessary for a successful career after high school.
