Washington State has collected post-school data for over 20 years. Statewide involvement has been a major goal for the past 10 years and the number of districts participating has increased from 13% to over 90%.
New Mexico:
We appreciate your technical assistance and prompt response to questions. The community of Practice Teleconferences are very helpful in gaining perspectives on other states. Excellent conference in Portland last spring, unable to attend in Denver, but hope you have another scheduled soon.
Wisconsin:
Districts receive an auto-fill summary report (used to fulfill Indicator 14 reporting requirements)and an auto-fill report template that districts can use when writing their district report (optional). This year a data analysis section was added for districts involved in data retreats, which helps them view, sort and compare local and statewide outcomes data. Two outcomes improvement planning forms are provided.
Kentucky:
Kentucky is still in the early stages of post-school outcome system development. To date, we have developed an in-school transition survey, which was given to all exiters with IEPs in Spring of '06. We have anlayzed that data and are in the process of finalizing state, regional, and local reports. We anticipate our One Year Out survey instrument being completed after the first of the year, at which time training on it's use will be provided. A representative sample of students who exited in Spring '06 will be followed up with beginning in Spring '07.
