Can the Early Intervention Official (EIO) be the CPSE chairpersons designee?
No. The EIO cannot act as the designee of the CPSE chairperson. Since the EIO represents the county at the transition conference and at meetings of the CPSE, the EIO cannot be designated to serve in this role as a representative of the school district. Qualifications for the designee of the CPSE Chairperson at the transition conference are not established by state law or regulation. It is appropriate for a member of the CPSE (Section 200.3(a)(2) Regulations of the Commissioner) who is knowledgeable about the transition process and is experienced in reviewing the needs of children transitioning from early intervention to represent the child’s school district as the appointed designee of the CPSE Chairperson.
