Must the Early Intervention Official (EIO) notify school districts and arrange transition conferences EXACTLY 120 days and 90 days, respectively, prior to the childs potential eligibility for services under Section 4410 of the Education Law?
No. EIP regulations require the notice be AT LEAST 120 days prior to the child’s potential eligibility for services under Section 4410 of the Education Law; and, the transition conference to be convened AT LEAST 90 days prior to a child’s potential eligibility for services under Section 4410 of the Education Law or the child’s third birthday, whichever is first. To manage notice and transition conferences at the municipal level, it is permissible for the EIO to notify school districts and arrange for transition conferences during the month or quarter in which a child’s birth date falls, as long as the notice is sent and the transition conference is convened within the timeframes required in regulations and within sufficient time for the CPSE to render an eligibility determination before the child’s third birthday.
