When a student transfers from one district to another district within the same state, the receiving district may request existing information from the exiting district. This is done using the Student Locator. Special Education information is an option the receiving district may request.
When a student no longer qualifies for special education services, certain steps must be completed.
The following information details the process the transferring district should do for proper special education records transfer and the process when student exits services within a district.
