KEY: The seven purple states are those that presented at the 2003 Forum on Post-School outcomes, hosted by the Western Regional Resource Center. Each presentation addressed three questions:
• What kinds of data are being collected by the state?
• Methodology—How are the data being collected?
• How are the data being used?
Additional materials have been included, when available.
Since the forum, the yellow states have contributed related links and documents. The collection continues to grow. If you know of materials that might be included here, please contact us.
