describing transition services needed for the student to achieve
post-high school goals.
In the
Transfer of Rights at Age of Majority (18) box, please note
that at least 1 year before the student's
18th birthday, the school must notify the student and parents
that parental rights transfer to the student when he or she turns
18. After this notice is given, enter Notice

In
the Transition Services box,
please note that when the student
