Postsecondary Transition Plan (PTP)
Tips/Reminders for Beginning the 13-14 School Year
The
Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has a new discretionary grant called the
Transition Improvement Grant (TIG) that is replacing WSTI. TIG Coordinators
will be conducting monthly PTP review and follow-up with your district. For a
list of TIG staff, please see: http://wsti.org/contact-us/.
PTP Director/Designee Role:
MOVE
STUDENT: from one school to another within
your district: Currently the PTP
does not automatically transfer PTPs from one school to another. Remember as a
new school year starts to use the “Move Student” tab within the PTP. For
example, all students transitioning from the middle school to the high school
will need to be moved. Only a PTP user
with the Director access role can complete this action. To complete this process,
·
Click on the “Move Student” tab, enter the
student’s information (minimal information to begin your search), identify the
student you wish to move, then click on the blue “change school” prompt, select
the school you wish to move them to, and the PTP application will confirm the
move.
* This process
will need to be completed individually for each student attending a new school.
GRANT and
REVOKE PTP ACCESS:
If you have special education staff
that have resigned from your district, you will need to revoke their access to
the PTP. Your PTP Application
Administrator can follow the step-by-step directions on the Indicator 13
webpage: http://sped.dpi.wi.gov/sped_spp-transition
to complete this in ASM (Application Security Manager).
If you have new special education
staff joining your district or switching schools, you will need to grant the
new staff access to the PTP or change access to schools depending on the
situation. Your PTP Application
Administrator can follow the step-by-step directions on granting PTP access: http://sped.dpi.wi.gov/files/sped/pdf/spp13-ptp-aainstructions.pdf
in ASM (Application Security Manager).
DELETE a DUPLICATE
PTP: The ability to delete a PTP
record is limited to PTP users with the Director/Designee access role. Only PTP records that have not been locked or
submitted can be deleted. Only PTPs
created in error or duplication should be deleted. A PTP can be deleted in two
ways:
·
Click on the “Finish PTP” tab, select the school
in which the PTP was created, change the radio button to “Show all records for
the school”, find the student PTP record that needs to be deleted, click on
“Delete PTP”. A popup message will ask
“Are you sure you want to delete the PTP?”
Click “OK” to confirm deletion of the selected PTP student record.
·
From the PTP completion page, click on “Delete
PTP”. A pop up message will ask “Are you
sure you want to delete the PTP?” Click “OK” to confirm deletion of the
selected PTP student record.
All PTP Users:
Reminder: Student’s transferring from another
school district: The school district
the student is transferring from (School District A), must release the
student’s WSN number to the receiving ‘School District B’ through WSLS (WI
Student Locator System). The receiving ‘School
District B’ will then need to use the “Create PTP” tab for that student as the
PTP currently does not automatically transfer from one school district to
another.
REVISE
PTP: Most of your students’ PTPs
were created in the 2012-2013 school year depending on your district’s month of
implementation. Last year to begin this
process, you clicked the “Create PTP” tab to create a new PTP for each student. If a student’s PTP was created and submitted
last year (2012-13 school year), there is no need to create a new one using the
“Create PTP” tab. Click on the “Revise
PTP” to review and update the student’s PTP during the annual IEP meeting:
·
Click the “Revise PTP” tab, select the school where
that student’s submitted PTP was created, enter the student’s information
(enter limited information to initiate your search) or simply click “Search”
and a list of students with submitted PTPs will be generated, identify the
student you are searching for, click the blue “Annual IEP” link at the right
side of the screen, then click “Continue” when prompted to do so and this will
bring you to the student’s current PTP for you to update and edit. It’s that easy!
Revising
a PTP prior to the annual IEP: There
may be a time during the school year that you will need to review/ revise a
student’s IEP. If this revision does not
include revision of the postsecondary transition plan, then the PTP does not need to be revised. Be cautious when completing the invitation and cover letter for an IEP meeting. If you check “Transition – the consideration of postsecondary goals and transition services (required for students beginning at age 14)”, you will need to review and revise the PTP during the IEP meeting. Remember to update the meeting date and proceed with the desired changes to the student’s PTP. You will do this by clicking on the “Revise PTP” tab, following the steps mentioned above but selecting the review/revise with a meeting. If the review/revision to the IEP does not include transition, be sure NOT to check the transition box on the IEP invite.

NEW WITH THE PTP”: For ongoing updates,
