Mission

To assist NEISD students with disabilities to become contributing members of the community through employment, education, training, independent life skills and self-advocacy.

Transition from high school to adult life can be difficult! Students frequently have many questions and concerns.

How will my life change?

NETS transition services are for students with disabilities ages 18-21 who reside in NEISD, have a current Individual Education Plan (IEP), have completed their high school program, and are seeking support in skills necessary for adult life.

If high school graduation requirements have been completed, students may participate in high school graduation ceremonies and receive a certificate of accomplishment. The student’s diploma is presented when the student completes all NEISD educational services.

Our goal is to make students successful in their own transition back into the general population and life after high school. At the Behavior Support Services Program and North East Transition Services (BSSP-NETS), Center School, AIC, and CIC, we are supporting students as they reach for and realize these goals--at work, at home, at school, and around San Antonio.
