Do you check-in with students that have graduated from the d 75?
3:20:44
Do we track them to see where they are and what they're doing?
Christina Foti

So district 75 is on in ongoing contact at the local level.
3:20:51
But I I agree with you that we need to do more to capture the data, around postsecondary outcomes.
Rita Joseph

And I had asked that earlier.

Innovative programs such as Project Search, which is designed for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities are one example of the types of programs operating District 75 to support kids through that process.
