Expected Webinar Outcomes
Directors of Special Education and other school administrators
will:
1. Understand reasons for collecting post-school outcome data
2. Understand data collection process
3. Understand how to interpret Indicator 14 (post-school
outcome data) Kentucky Continuous Improvement
Monitoring (KCMP) Report
4. Understand how to use Indicator 14 data for school
improvement
What is Indicator 14?
Indicator 14: Percent of youth who are no longer
in secondary school, had IEPs in effect at the time
they left school, and were:
A. Enrolled in higher education within one year of
leaving high school.
B. Enrolled in higher education or competitively
employed within one year of leaving high school.
C. Enrolled in higher education or in some other
postsecondary education or training program; or
competitively employed or in some other
employment within one year of leaving high
school.
Collecting this data will help us answer
questions like:
• For students who are successful, did school help and how?
• For students who aren’t successful, what could the school
have done differently/better?
• What kinds of supports do young adults need most after high
school?
• What changes are needed to better support students,
families, schools, agencies?
What Data are Collected?
1.
2.
Data about student transition planning experience and post
school plans during the final year of high school.
Data about the post-school outcomes of Former Students
(FS) one year after secondary school exit.
When are Data Collected?
From April 1st to June 30th of each year.
How are data collected?
• Data about the transition planning process and post-school
plans are collected using the Kentucky In School Transition
Survey (KISTS) which consists of 1). Student contact
information after high school, 2). A review of the student
record (Record Review), and 3). A survey completed by the
exiting student (Student Survey).
• Data about post-school outcomes of former students (FS) are
collected using the Youth One Year Out (YOYO) former student
interview. The YOYO is a computer assisted, telephone
interview.

How are Data Collected?
Both the KISTS and the YOYO are webbased instruments

Roles in Data Collection
• State Education Agency (SEA) ~ responsible for assuring data
collection; developing and submitting State Performance Plan
(SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR) to Office of
Special Education Programs (OSEP). This contains state targets
and improvement activities for all Indicators, including
Indicator 14.
Roles in Data Collection
• Local Education Agencies (LEA) ~ responsible for collecting
the data including identifying who, at the local level, will
collect the data; review of Indicator 14 data via the KCMP;
development of district improvement planned based upon
data review.
Roles in Data Collection
Special Education Cooperatives ~ assist/participate with districts
in data review and in development of improvement activities and
root cause analysis.
Roles in Data Collection
Kentucky Post School Outcome Center ~ responsible for
secondary data analysis; development of LEA, Cooperative, and
State level reports regarding the data; provision of technical
assistance and/or training of LEA, SEA, and Cooperative level staff
in regard to data collection, data interpretation, and data use.
Old Indicator #14 (2005
– 2008)
Percent of youth, who
had IEPs, are no longer
in secondary school
and were:
· Enrolled in some type
of postsecondary
school, within one
year of leaving high
school, but not
employed.
· Competitively
employed, within
one year of leaving
high school, but not
enrolled in postsecondary
education.
· Both employed and
enrolled in
postsecondary
school within one
New Indicator #14 (as of Feb
2009)
Another Way of Thinking
About New Indicator #14
Percent of youth who are no
longer in secondary school,
had IEPs in effect at the time
they left school, and were:
A. Enrolled in higher
education within one year
of leaving high school.
A. The percentage of former
students with IEPs that
exited the previous year
and are enrolled in two or
four year college/university.
B. Enrolled in higher
B. Part A plus the percentage
education or competitively
of former students with
employed within one year
of leaving high school.
IEPs that exited the
previous year and are, or
have been, competitively
employed since exit.
C. Enrolled in higher
C. Part B plus the percentage
education or in some other
of former students with
postsecondary education or
IEPs that exited the
training; or competitively
previous year and are, or
employed or in some other
have been, enrolled in
employment within one
another post-secondary
Indicator 14 is Considered a “New”
Indicator
• Because Indicator 14 was redefined, it is considered
a new indicator.
• Therefore, no state targets were set for Indicator 14
for the 2009-2010 reporting year.
• This years’ (2009-2010) YOYO data, both at the state
and local levels, are considered baseline data.
• The Kentucky Department of Education/Division of
Learning Services (KDE/DLS) is currently setting state
targets for all indicators through the Annual
Performance Report (APR).
