Indicator 14

SY2022-23 Post School Outcomes Interview

The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and Administrative Units (AUs) conduct a survey every school year to learn how parents are involved in their child’s special education program. Please refer to the short webinar and the survey guide below:

Definition

Indicator 14 measures state performance on the transition from high school to postsecondary education or employment of students with IEPs. Specifically, the federal measure is defined as:

The 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 post-secondary education or training program; or competitively employed or in some other employment within one year of leaving high school.¹

IDEA 2004 requires the State to report its performance compared to state targets for indicator 14.  Below is the link to view how the State of Colorado performed on all Indicators in our report to OSEP, the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR).
