Special Education Updates

Special Education Accountability training: Student Exit Data Collection (Indicator 14)
This session provides an in-depth overview of Ohio’s Exiting Student Data Collection process for students with disabilities, aligned with federal IDEA Part B Indicator 14 requirements. Participants learn about the purpose and components of post-school outcomes reporting, the definitions of engagement categories (higher education, competitive employment, other employment, and other postsecondary education or training), and how these data help inform state and district improvement efforts.
The training walks through required data elements, detailed question-and-reporting guidance for EMIS, and the use of Ohio’s Indicator 14 templates and resources. Topics include employment and education follow-up requirements, military and service program reporting, and how to ensure accurate, consistent, and representative data collection practices. The session also highlights strategies for increasing response rates, improving data quality, and understanding district responsibilities during the annual Exiting Student Follow-Up collection window. FAQs address common reporting questions, timelines, and coordination across districts.
Target audience: Special Education Administrators and EMIS Coordinators
