Indicator 14

Indicator 14 is a results indicator that measures the percentage of youth who are no longer in secondary school, had IEPs in effect at the time they left school, and were:

A. Enrolled in higher education within one year of leaving high school,

B. Enrolled in higher education or competitively employed within one year of leaving high school, or

C. Enrolled in higher education or in some other post-secondary education or training program; or competitively employed or in some other employment within one year of leaving high school

Per Indicator 14 of the State Performance Plan, states are required to collect & report to the US Department of Education on post-secondary education and training and employment outcomes for youth with IEPs for the year after leaving high school.
