Issues to Consider

• Individual student connection between exit and
  follow-up process?
• Individual student id number and access to other
  data collections?
• Does state tie post school outcomes into
  monitoring?
• Where is state in the process of uniting
  reporting and accountability between Indicators
  1, 2, 13, and 14?

Oregon combines census and stratified sampling

• State submits summary data each year that
  represents the ethnic, gender, disability and
  exiting method of all exited students in the
  state.
• To gather these results, some groups of students
  like drop-outs will be over sampled to insure
  adequate numbers.
• Districts with less than 15 exited students
  interview all
• Districts with more than 15 exited students
  interview 15 per school or transition program
