The New Mexico
Statewide Transition Coordinating Council 

 

  
Who We Are

The New Mexico Statewide Transition Coordinating Council (NMSTCC)—a state-level transition team is focused on creating an infrastructure for communities to develop and improve transition services. The NM STCC is designed to open doors for interagency collaboration at the state level that is intended to enhance cooperation at the local level.

Council members study rural and urban demonstration sites and disseminate the information to local stakeholders in regional workshops. The STCC also studies how to help higher education develop high quality transition training. As part of a state systems change grant the NM STCC has helped local education agencies with transition programming. Part of the STCC work has resulted in the NM Transition Summer Institutes, which respond to priority needs in transition.

The New Mexico Statewide Transition Coordinating Council includes members from every region in the state. The STCC meets bi-monthly to work on support systems for youth exiting high school.
