The Wisconsin Post High School Outcomes Survey (WPHSOS) assesses the outcomes of individuals with disabilities one year after they have exited high school. Former students are contacted for a telephone interview to assess areas independent living, participation in postsecondary education, employment, and high school IEP planning. Once during 2007-12, each district in Wisconsin will be required to use this website to fulfill the requirements of Indicator 14 of the State Performance plan. In addition to using the WPHSOS website in a compliance year, districts may choose to use the website any year to collect outcomes data on local exiters. In addition to the required reporting elements of Indicator 14, this site provides many ways for districts to review their outcomes data.
