RE: [NPSO]: What data do you plan to collect?

[Scheib, Lisa]

Title: Untitled Document

Washington State asks two questions that are beyond the reporting requirements:  1) Do you live with family? 2) Are you covered by your family’s health insurance?  If No or Don’t Know, are you covered by any other insurance (employment benefits, Medicaid, SSI, etc.)?  In most cases this allows us to see if the graduate/leaver is living with their family at the time of the interview, and also if they are covered by their family’s insurance or if they are covered by their employer or by the state.   We also include a space that allows for the district to ask a series of their own questions, but we do not collect data on this information.  This information is only for district use.   Thanks!
