Each LEA has a compulsory school attendance officer assigned to it. LEAs are encouraged to utilize the school attendance officers to find students who exited the previous year.
LEAs were encouraged to utilize their
compulsory school attendance officer for any students whose contact information was out of date. LEAs have reported in the past that these compulsory school attendance officers have been an invaluable resource to them. A screen will be created in MSIS that
can be populated in April listing
students who exited the previous school year, offering LEAs the maximum
amount of time possible to find these students.
The screen has been created and was utilized in the 2011-2012 student population data collection.
LEAs will develop tracking systems for exiting students to optimize their contact rate.
LEAs are working to ensure that they have contact information on all their students exiting in the current school year. OSE staff will continue to conduct
frequent reviews of the NPSO website and provide updates and news to the school LEAs within the State.
OSE posted to the web site the Post-School Data Collection Protocol found on the
National Post-School Outcomes Center (NPSO) website and encouraged LEAs to use the protocols during their data collection. http://www.mde.k12.ms.us/special-
education/special-education-spp-apr An OSE Team will attend the
Secondary Transition State Planning Institute: Building for the Future to assist with the planning of capacity building activities designed to improve
secondary transition services for students with disabilities and to obtain information relative to the SPP/APR secondary transition Indicators 1, 2, 13, and 14, specifically with regard to data collection, reporting, and use.
OSE sent 3 staff members to participate in the Secondary Transition State Planning Institute: Building for the Future in North Carolina during May 2008. Due to recent budget and travel restrictions the OSE Team was not afforded the opportunity to
participate in 2011.
OSE staff will address Indicator 14 through the quarterly meetings conducted with Directors of Special Education.
OSE staff offered training and data insight at each of the Special Education quarterly meetings. One-on-one technical assistance was also provided to LEAs as requested through emails and phone calls.
OSE staff will continue to participate in the NPSO monthly teleconferences and
3 to 5 OSE staff regularly participated in the monthly teleconferences with NPSO and will continue to network with other states that

participate in these regularly scheduled conference calls. Notes from the
teleconferences are disseminated each month.
The Division of Technical Assistance has 1 staff member whose primary responsibility is Secondary Transition. That staff member regularly participates in the monthly
teleconferences with NPSO and will continue to network with other states that participate in these regularly scheduled conference calls.
The Transition Portfolio, first introduced in 2002-2003, will continue as a
requirement document that serves as a practical tool for documenting the efforts of the student, his/her family, teachers, and other service providers to ensure a smooth transition to post-school
opportunities and services. The Transition Portfolio is required for all students whose IEP indicates that they will exit high school with an option other than a standard diploma or an
occupational diploma.
Training provided during the SY 2011-2012 addressed Transition Portfolio requirements. The Transition Portfolio is addressed in the IEP Training provided annually in regional locations and to LEAs upon request. Trainings were provided on the following dates and locations:
o Meridian/Lauderdale – August 3, 2011 o Lee County – August 12, 2011
o Tupelo, MS – December 7, 2011 o Jackson, MS – November 17, 2011 o Jackson, MS – January 19, 2012 o DeSoto, MS – February 29, 2012 o Greenwood, MS – March 2, 2012 OSE will provide transitional training to
the LEAs during annual IEP,
Transitional, and Occupational Diploma training.
OSE provided training opportunities to LEAs regarding transition, including information on the Mississippi Occupational Diploma and the Transition Portfolio.
OSE will support and participate in an annual Transitional Conference with the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services (MDRS).
OSE collaborated with the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services
(MDRS) to co-sponsor the second Transition Conference (first one offered 2006; second one was offered in the Fall of 2008). OSE and MDRS conducted collaborated trainings on the following dates and locations during the SY 2011-2012:
o Jackson, MS – October 28, 2011 o Jackson, MS – November 28, 2011 o Starkville, MS – January 5, 2012 o Jackson, MS – February 17, 2012

OSE has established an Interagency Agreement with MDRS to ensure a cooperative partnership between the two agencies.
The OSE Interagency Agreement with MDRS was in effect during SY 2011-2012. The Interagency Agreement ensures a cooperative partnership between the two agencies and ensures the transitional service needs of students 14 and above.
The State has a high school redesign initiative that is restructuring secondary program options for all students. All students will have a targeted exiting option that includes higher education at a 4-year college or university, post- secondary community college, or entering the workforce. Academic and vocational curriculum have been blended to center on seven career pathways and ensure transition from high school to adulthood. OSE will work closely with other MDE offices on the high school redesign to ensure inclusion and appropriate services for all students with disabilities.
Due to budgetary concerns, MDE modified its plan for the implementation of
Redesigning Education for the 21st Century Workforce in Mississippi. The initiative
continues to be implemented by the 32 LEAs that were selected for its pilot.
MDE used the college and career readiness standards to rewrite curriculum, address board policies, and provide training to the LEAs.
Students with disabilities are included in the Redesign plan. Vocational education
instructors will continue to utilize the differentiated instructional strategies listed on each student’s IEP to deliver instruction. The special populations instructors will continue to be available for remediation. MDE originally implemented the
Redesigning Education for the 21st Century Workforce in Mississippi during the SY 2007-
2008 with 13 pilot LEAs. In the first phase of Redesign’s career pathway, curricula
included allied health, construction,
manufacturing, management, culinary arts, education, and automotive services. In January 2009, the next set of career
pathway curricula was approved by the Mississippi Board of Education. These pathways included agricultural sciences, architecture and engineering, collision repair technology, digital media technology,
information technology, and industrial maintenance – all areas that are critical to Mississippi’s economy.

Redesign plan included a new set of sites selected to implement the 7th and 9th grade courses and the original pilot sites
implementing the 8th grade ICT II course. Nineteen sites were selected for Phase II. This phase also includes the development and implementation of the new career pathways in grades 10 through 12.
Phase II also included training for counselors and the establishment of graduation coaches in LEAs. Graduation coaches are
responsible for identifying students at risk of dropping out and using guided interventions to put them back on track, including assisting students with career pursuits as well as academics.
One of the components of the Mississippi Redesign Comprehensive Model is its data system. It is imperative that a system is in place that can follow students to facilitate the alignment of educational and workforce standards across the P-20 spectrum as well as provide early warning of potential
dropouts. A team of education scientists at Mississippi State University’s Research and Curriculum Unit (RCU), in conjunction with stakeholders around the State, is working toward developing a comprehensive data system to compile data on students to determine not only the success of college readiness strategies, but also other programs being implemented for dropout prevention, increasing the graduation rate, and workforce placement and tracking.
Additional Improvement Activities:
On March 17, 2010, Governor Haley Barbour signed into law Senate Bill 2389, an Act to amend Section 37-16-17, MS Code of 1972, to provide certain conditions for high school career option programs and career track curricula for students not wishing to pursue a baccalaureate degree. The Bill will allow 9th graders beginning 2010-2011 may choose a Career Pathway Option as their graduation option. This update also included the requirement that all students exiting 8th grade must complete an Individual Career and Academic Plan (iCAP). The Career Pathway Option is a standard diploma that requires the students to
complete four career and technical education units and two-and-one-half elective units specified in the student’s iCAP. The iCAP is a guide for students to help them establish and achieve their career and academic goals for success after high school by (1) providing mentorship and guidance to assist students in career pathway planning, (2) helping students identify correct graduation pathway options, (3) supporting changes to meet student needs and ambitions and (4) helping students transition into a profession or postsecondary educational major. During the 2011- 2012 school year, the Mississippi State Board of Education (SBE) updated the State’s accountability standards to include the Career Pathway Option as a new exit option.
