Welcome to the Kentucky Post School Outcome Center!
The Kentucky Post School Outcome Center (KYPSO) develops and oversees the administration of the Kentucky Post School Outcome Study, a longitudinal investigation of the post school outcomes of Kentucky youth with educational disabilities during the final year of high school and one year after high school exit.
The KYPSO is currently funded by the Kentucky Department of Education/Division of Exceptional Children Services (KDE/DECS) State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG). We also are in the process of seeking additional external funding to conduct further research into factors predictive of post school success for Kentucky youth.
The goal of the KYPSO is to collect data related to student post school plans and outcomes for the purpose of determining best transition practices. To find out when your school disctrict will be required to follow up with former students (conduct the YOYO) click here.
We hope this page will be a useful tool for improving education and transition services for all students.
