Local Educational and Training Programs
San Diego Unified School District offers two TRACE programs, which provide support for special education students ages 18-22 who do not earn a high school diploma. Many special education students who receive a Letter of Recognition or Certificate have been attending school since they were infants. Some of these students feel they need a break. Students or parents can contact the TRACE office any time before the student’s 22nd birthday to enroll. This program is limited to students who live within the San Diego Unified School District boundaries. Students continue to be eligible for special education services that relate to transition. For example, D/HH students may receive interpreting, notetaking, audiology and D/HH itinerant services in conjunction with the TRACE program if the IEP team feels it is beneficial. All students in the TRACE program must have an IEP.
