• Indicator 14 is one of 17 SPP Indicators that have been developed by the PA Department of Education.
• The purpose of Indicator 14 is to collect information that will inform program improvements which will result in better post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities.

• Year One (23-24), CMs will complete the exit form for all potential leavers during the school year as part of the PaPOSMyPlan4Success Survey Completion process.
