• Additionally, programs must ensure that at least
  3 out of every 10 records selected are children
  who exited Part C and transitioned to preschool
  special education during the year.
• Remember, this is a retrospective data
  collection and only those activities that
  occurred during FY 2007-2008 should be reviewed
  in the childs record.
