Indicator 14 concerns itself with the outcomes that youth with disabilities achieve once they exit high school. It reads:
_________________________________
Percent of youth who had IEPs, are no longer in secondary school and who have been competitively employed, enrolled in some type of postsecondary school, or both, within one year of leaving high school. [20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B)]

Resources to Support Improved Postschool Outcomes
Tools, and more tools.
Is your state trying to develop strategies for collecting and using data to improve secondary, transition, and post-secondary outcomes for youth with disabilities? Does your state need technical assistance to improve systems for postschool outcome data collection and use? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may wish to visit the National Post School Outcomes Center, which offers quite an array of tools for calculating and reporting this Indicator.

The National High School Center provides information and technical assistance to the Regional Comprehensive Centers to increase states’ capacity to improve their high school. They provide webinars and many products on a variety of secondary education issues including graduation rates. Their publication State Approaches to More Reliable and Uniform Dropout and Graduation Data can help you understand how states are tracking and calculating graduation rates for their SPPs.
