Owners of

sank near
Ilwaco fi ned
A plan to help the disabled prepare for the future
Partnerships aid
student transition
By KATHERINE LACAZE
For The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — New community
partnerships will help the Seaside
School District better provide stu-
dents with intellectual and devel-
opmental disabilities the life skills
to support a smooth transition to
adulthood.
For many years, the school dis-
trict has offered post-secondary tran-
sition services that include individual
educational plans outlining the spe-
cial education services a child iden-
tifi ed with a disability will receive as
part of his or her free and appropriate
education, according to Jeremy Catt,
director of special services.
“Our focus is on college and
career readiness for all students,
including students with disabilities,”
he said. “The goal is to have a plan
for their future as they leave school.”
This year, a main focus for the
post-secondary transition program
— which prepares students to move
from high school to adult life uti-
lizing comprehensive planning and
coordinated activities — is to include
more collaboration with outside
agencies and community participa-
tion, Catt said.
“We want to continue this devel-
opment of partnerships,” which pro-
vide for integrated employment and
job skills development opportunities,
he added.
Those partnerships include agen-
cies such as Vocational Rehabili-
tation, Youth Transition Program,

Washington state has levied a
$10,500 fi ne against the owners of
a crab boat that crashed into Jetty A
and sank near Ilwaco two years ago.
The owners of the Titan also
must reimburse the state $8,000 for
response costs.
The 78-foot ship was on its
maiden fi shing voyage on Dec. 5,
2014, when it struck the jetty and
its engine room fl ooded, according
to the state Department of Ecology.
The vessel sank with 4,600 gallons
of oil and fuel aboard. An oil sheen
coated the Columbia River for three
days.
The Coast Guard rescued fi ve
crew members aboard at about 3
a.m. that day, but they left the ves-
sel after securing it to the jetty. Later,
harsh weather, strong currents and
changing tides prevented crews from
salvaging the ship in three separate
attempts.
“Safety was a huge factor in
this response” said David Byers,
response section manager. “A series
of storms hampered our ability to
salvage the vessel without putting
our responders at risk.”
The Titan reportedly was carry-
ing up to 50,000 pounds of Dunge-
ness crab when it sunk.
Ecology and several state agen-
cies plan to conduct a full natural
resources damage assessment.

to annually complete interviews
with all students who received spe-
cial education services and left sec-
ondary school after the 2014-15
school year to gauge post-school
outcomes. Survey questions asked if
the individuals are working and how
many hours; if they are connected
with outside agencies; if they have
a driver’s license; if they are receiv-
ing appropriate government bene-
fi ts; and more.
“Post-school outcomes measure
how effective our transition planning
and services are in preparing students
for life after high school” and “help
us continue to build our transition
program,” Catt said.
The statewide priority for engage-
ment is 73 percent of graduates; the
district has a response rate of 82
percent.
The state Department of Educa-
tion has identifi ed a variety of pre-
dictors of post-high school success,
including work study experiences,
paid employment, a high school
diploma, occupational courses, fam-
ily expectations and involvement,
career awareness, interagency col-
laboration and self-determination.
“The question is, are we doing
these things and are we doing them
well?” Catt said.
Feedback from surveys con-
ducted in the spring showed Seaside
students with intellectual and devel-
opmental disabilities who gradu-
ated in 2015 were working and gen-
erally had the services they need.
The district found, however, a need
to increase the paid employment for
those students and “we are always
looking at ways to improve” access
to resources, Catt said.
Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.
