Case Management A ratio not to exceed 1 fulltime case manager to 75 youth Assist youth by connecting to resources and remove barriers to success Can provide academic as well as employment support

Tracking Reengagement Students School code: Reengagement schools are designated with an R school type code Allows the students to be disaggregated from district AYP measures. Program code: Each program has a unique qualifying code attached to the student record Allows OSPI to track student data to the specific program and location Allows OSPI to aggregate data many ways including by state, region, district, pathway or partner

Program Accountability Compliance monitoring of began October 2014 under the authority of ESSB 6002 (2014) To date 30 programs have undergone a compliance review This has led to a clarification of language and a 3 rd WAC revision Guidance and best practice documents have been created and shared Ongoing guidance and assistance have been welcomed

Program Accountability An EDS application is being designed that will allow data points to be collected that are not measures found in CEDARS, but are desired outcomes in Open Doors The new student qualification codes will allow the EDS application to be pre-populated with demographic information Program Annual Report District Annual Report OSPI Receives Report September 30 October 31

Program Accountability Programs are approved by the state and will require re-approval. Key performance indicators will include: 1.Student retention 2.Academic progress 3.Student outcomes 4.Process elements Meeting program requirements Adherence to program design Referral process Continuous improvement process

Longitudinal Study The RCW governing Open Doors requires longitudinal study for 5 years. OSPI is working with the Education Research and Data Center to align the cohort and data tracking for compliance. This longitudinal tracking will include: College enrollment and completion Workforce data such as wages and industry

Challenges Year Round Funding Continuous Improvement Barrier Reduction
