Post-School Outcomes for Students with Disabilities: Report to the Legislature
Johnson, Cinda
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
This report analyzes data for secondary special education students in Washington who left high school during the 2013-14 school year. These data were collected by the state starting on June 1, 2015, from all 233 districts with high schools: 230 districts, two state schools, and one educational service agency (a collection of 27 small districts operated by Educational Service District 112). The education data center reports on outcomes for special education students after they leave high school. Results from 2013-14 show: (1) Percentage enrolled in higher education for at least one full term decreased by 1.4 percent; (2) Percentage enrolled in other postsecondary education or training decreased by 0.1 percent; (3) Percentage competitively employed increased by 2.5 percent; and (4) Percentage engaged in some other employment increased by 1.3 percent. Some of the data the legislature asks for is not collected by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). These data include: (1) How employment affects state and federal benefits for individuals with disabilities; (2) Information about the types of places previous students are living; (3) Indicators of improved economic status and self-sufficiency; and (4) Information about students who continue their education or get a job more than one year after leaving school.
