Follow-Up Interview

The Follow-Up Interview is the tool used in collecting post-school outcome data. Districts and schools will conduct these required interviews by contacting former students who were receiving Special Education Services one year beyond exit from high school. These interviews are conducted via phone by school district personnel. After the surveys are complete, the analyzed data will provide both state and district-level reports in order to help inform program change for future students.
