Webinar: Please Don’t Hang Up! What Families Need to Know About the Post-School Outcomes Survey

Join us for a free statewide webinar on May 22, 2024, at 12:15 p.m. (CT). Every state is required to collect and report data about what happens to students who were receiving special education services when they exited school. Are former students employed? Are they enrolled in college or some type of higher education program? In Texas, a survey is completed by a contracted vendor one year after exit. If your child graduated or dropped out anytime during school year 2022-23, you may receive a postcard, text message, phone call, or email during the summer of 2024. Learn more about the survey, State Performance Plan Indicator (SPPI) 14, and why you or your adult child may be helping to improve special education services statewide by responding to the SPPI 14 survey.
