RE:  EXTENDED COLLECTION DATE FOR POST SCHOOL OUTCOMES

As part of the Oregon State Performance Plan, each school district is
required to collect the percent of youth who 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
(Indicator 14).  Originally, the deadline for this data collection was
June 30, 2008.  Many school districts put forth great effort to complete
the follow-up interviews and we appreciate those efforts. Forty-two
school districts have already collected 100% of their follow-up
interviews.

Since this is the first year the ODE has collected Post School Outcome
data and school districts are just learning the process, the ODE is
extending the collection until September 30, 2008 to allow districts to
fulfill the required obligation to collect this data or to continue to
search for students who were not located.   

The results of each school district's 2007-08 Post School Outcome data
collection will be reported to the public in the 2009 School District
Special Education Report Card. 

The ODE is reimbursing school districts for completed follow-up
interviews (required or alternate) at a rate of $15 per completed
interview.  Districts have until September 30, 2008 to expend this
money.  Grant awards are the maximum amount that districts can receive;
actual reimbursement is based on the number of completed interviews.
(Example-15 possible interviews=$225; 12 actual completed
interviews=$180 is the maximum amount that can be claimed.)
