Preparing for the 2020 Post-School Survey

The Post-School Survey is a year-round process! No sooner do we finalize last year’s data, than it’s time to start thinking about this year’s survey and the next. If you’re someone that is involved in the survey at your school or district, below are a few reminders and resources to consider as you plan ahead.

• Make sure you have access to an accurate list of leavers from the 2018-19 school year. This list will be needed when leaver verification opens in May.
• Locate, review, and update contact information for your 2018-19 leavers. This information will be needed to start making phone calls when the survey opens June 1.
• Start preparing this year’s leavers for the 2021 survey. The Post-School Survey Guidance for Students and Families page includes survey FAQ, informational PowerPoint, and handouts in both English and Spanish.
• Stay tuned for updates from CCTS. We’ll let you know when new information is available on the Post-School Survey Guidance for Educators
