Board places transition job coach description on table for first reading under IDEA indicator 13
Summary
The board placed a transition job coach job description on the table for a first reading to strengthen supports for students with IEPs moving from high school to postsecondary settings, citing federal IDEA indicator 13 requirements. The item passed as a first reading and will return for further consideration.
Trussville City Schools’ board placed a transition job coach job description on the agenda for a first reading to address transition supports required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), specifically indicator 13.
The presenter said the position would support students with IEPs as they transition out of the high school experience and noted district staff including Erin Deck, Erin Piper and Mr. Kirkland have worked on the job description. The role was described as aligning with the district’s maintenance-of-effort obligations and with existing staff responsibilities.
Board members moved and seconded to place the job description on the table for first reading; the motion was approved by voice vote. The item was not adopted as a final policy or hire at this meeting; it was advanced for further review and a subsequent reading.
During discussion, the presenter framed the role as leveraging an existing function to provide clearer duties and compliance with IDEA’s transition indicator, but the transcript does not include a detailed job description or salary information. The board did not take a final hiring action at this meeting.
