Post School Outcomes
Each public education agency (PEA) that serves transition-aged students with disabilities is required to participate in the Post School Outcomes (PSO) Survey every year. Students who exited high school are contacted and administered a 14-question survey designed to capture student engagement in post-secondary education/training or employment. Data obtained from the PSO Survey facilitates results-driven analysis and improvement to secondary transition programs at the state and local levels.
*The 2019 PSO Survey for students who graduated, aged-out, or dropped out during the 2017-2018 school year is NOW OPEN on the PSO application in ADE Connect. The 2019 PSO data collection season will close at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, September 30, 2019.*
