National Post School Outcome Data Community of
Practice
------------------------------------------------------
Hi -
in New Mexico districts, all 18-21 year old programs
are part of their home
districts, although "based" in
community rather than school campuses.
When the
postschool followup surveys are done, those who've
exited
(typically graduated with a diploma - we have 3 pathways
to our
regular diploma for students with IEPs) from those
18-21 year old programs
are included just like all other
exiters.
