2008 Post-school Survey:

The 2008 Online Post-school Survey is available now! To access the online survey please go to the survey login page: https://www.seattleu.edu/ccts/Survey/. CCTS will ONLY accept surveys submitted using the online system for the 2008 leavers. Paper/pencil surveys will not be accepted. It is suggested that you start preparing for the 2008 Post-school Survey activities now. The information and documents below are designed to assist you in completing Parts 1-3 of the survey. Part 4, the telephone follow-up interview, takes place between December 1, 2008 and January 31, 2009 and will be accessible on December 1st.

IMPORTANT:All special education leavers must be included. These are the 2008 graduates and all dropouts (grades 9-12) leaving during the 2007-2008 school year. Note: 120 districts did not report any dropouts for the 2007 leavers. As part of the online survey system districts will be required to certify that all graduates and dropouts have been included. 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).

Helpful Documents:
Keeping track of leavers’ spreadsheet(Excel): This Excel Spreadsheet is a suggested way for organizing the list of your 2008 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 December 2008 or January 2009, 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.
