Special Education/Transition Partnership Program and WorkAbility
Theresa Kurtz, Director
The Transition Partnership Program (TPP) and WorkAbility (WA) are divisions of the Special Education Department. These programs continue the Poway Unified School District mission of "excellence in all we do." Although there have been many changes and much growth over the years, what remains constant is our commitment to providing quality services to our students, leading to their successful inclusion as adults in the community. Whether it is providing that vital first paid employment experience or assisting students in developing their goals; the program staff believes in the value of promoting career and technical education.
