Post-school Survey
2009 Post-School Survey:
The 2009 Online Post-school Survey is now available. To access it, please go to: https://www.seattleu.edu/ccts/Survey/.
CCTS ONLY accepts surveys submitted using the online system. Paper/pencil surveys are not accepted. It is suggested that
you start preparing for the 2009 Post-school Survey activities now. The
information and documents below are designed to assist you in completing the
survey.
2009 Leavers: Continue to collect and update contact information
for 2009 leavers. In addition, all demographic information for 2009 leavers may
be entered into the online system during this school year. Please note, however, that the telephone interview
section of the Post-School Survey must now take place at least one year after the students have left school. Based on this change,
telephone interviews for 2009 leavers may begin on June 1, 2010. All 2009
Post-school Surveys must be completed and entered online by November 1, 2010.
IMPORTANT: All special education leavers must be included. These are the
2009 graduates and all dropouts (grades 9-12) leaving during the 2008-2009
school year. Thank you for your attention to this requirement (State and
Federal Statutes require this data collection, specifically 20 U.S.C. 1416(a)
(3)(B) of IDEA and WAC 392-172A-07015 and 07020 of the Washington
Administrative Code).
2010 Post-School Survey:
2010 Leavers: Please track and update contact information for 2010 leavers during the 2009-2010 school year. CCTS recommends that
each district manager download the "Keeping track of leavers' spreadsheet," provided below, and create a master tracking system for 2010 leavers. At the end of the
2009-2010 academic year, this list may be uploaded to the online 2010
Post-school Survey. Please note, however, that the telephone interview section
of the 2010 Post-School Survey will open on June 1, 2011. The 2010 Post-school Survey must be completed and entered online by November 1, 2011.

Helpful Documents:
2009 Demographic Form (Word): Use this Word Document to collect the most up-to-date contact information for each youth you will be contacting for the 2009 Post-school Survey. Getting this information now will make it easier to successfully contact the youth in the summer and fall of 2010.
Post-school Survey Timeline(Word): This document is a suggested timeline for when to start the Post-school Survey Activities and when to start keeping track of your special education leavers. The timeline includes dates and deadlines, the specific post-school survey activity, and who should be responsible for the activity.
Keeping track of leavers’ spreadsheet(Excel): This Excel This Excel Spreadsheet is a suggested way for organizing the list of your 2009 leavers. Feel free to modify (add or delete columns) the template to fit the needs of your district. Most of the column headers contain comments; to read them hover over the red mark in the cell with your cursor. If there are multiple people making the follow-up phone calls in the summer and fall of 2010, it is recommended that the District Manager give each person their own spreadsheet for the youth they will contact. This way the contact information for each youth is contained in a centralized place.
