​The vision of the Kentucky Board of Education is that each and every student is empowered and equipped with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to pursue a successful future. Students moving to the next educational level or graduating from high school should be prepared to succeed in the next stage in their lives.

Transition ready students should be able to enter and succeed in entry level postsecondary courses without remediation or enter the workforce possessing the knowledge and technical skills needed for employment in their desired career field. At high school, a student must earn a high school diploma by meeting/exceeding the Kentucky Minimum High School Graduation Requirements and meeting one type of readiness (Academic or Career). In addition, for English Learners, performance on the English Language proficiency assessment as measured by WIDA ACCESS must be met for any student who received English Language Services during high school. Students who participate in the alternate assessment program and who are working toward earning an alternative diploma will have criteria for transition readiness based on an alternate assessment requirement and employability skills attainment.
