What should residents consider about Finding F10: WorkAbility withdrawal and student transition services, and the County’s response?
Audit context
Response says
Partially disagrees. Respondents accept voluntary withdrawal without Board approval, dispute federal funding and the 400–450 count, identify about 275 participants/25 budgeted paid placements, and argue specific WA1 participation and Board authorization are not legally required.
Audit analysis
Pages 15–17 explicitly separate accepted withdrawal from disputed funding, counts, authority and service requirements, citing state law/policy and CDE information. They question the meaning of student-impact analysis and assert continued mandatory services without supplying student outcome records. Clear engagement is not verification of equivalent transition services or a legal ruling.
