B: ((31+86)/241)*100 = 48.55
C: ((31+86+11)/241)*100 = 59.34%
LifeTrack began contacting former students in May and continued with phone surveys through
July 2010. Although steps were taken to verify contact information, 42.8% (369) of telephone
numbers were either disconnected or had changed resulting in wrong numbers. Contact
information was valid for 250 or 32.052% of leavers. LifeTrack Services exceeded their
th
contractual commitment of 5 telephone attempts by making a 6
attempt to all remaining
telephone numbers that were not disconnected or wrong numbers. Exhibit I-14.2 provides an
overview of the outcome of student contact information.

An analysis of representativeness was conducted, by the IDEA Data & Research Office, on
the characteristics of disability type, ethnicity, and dropout on the respondent group to
determine whether the youth who responded to the surveys were similar to or different from
the total population of youth with an IEP who exited school in 2008-09.
A significant difference between the Respondent Group and the Target Leaver Group is
measured by a difference of ±3%. The rate of difference was adopted from the National Post-
School Outcomes Center calculator. The negative differences indicate an under-
representativeness of the group and positive differences indicate over-representativeness.
The analysis revealed that responders were under-represented in the racial group Black and
were over-represented of the racial group white. Disability representativeness is relatively
similar to the composition of leavers over all for racial/ethnic groups and disability
categories. These findings are presented in Exhibit I-14.3, Exhibit I-14.4, and Exhibit I-14.5
and the categories with a ±3% difference are in bold.
