We had a great SPARK Transition Team meeting this week at Paintsville High School

Our team—made up of educators, families, and community partners—came together to review our current transition practices and identify priorities to better support students as they prepare for life after high school.

This work is focused on strengthening opportunities in employment, postsecondary education, and independent living for our students.

Appreciate everyone who took the time to be part of the conversation. Looking forward to continuing this work as we move into developing our action plan.
