The accountability requirement under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) mandates each state determines the extent to which students are achieving transition outcomes (State Performance Plan – Indicator 14). To meet the federal reporting requirement, each local educational agency (LEA) is mandated to administer an Exit Process and Post-School Surveys to students (who have graduated, dropped out or reached the maximum age) with individualized education programs (IEPs) once over a five-year period, based on the LEA’s assignment to a targeted sampling year.

For the 2025-2026 school year, LEAs assigned to target sampling Cohort 1 are required to administer the My Plan for Success (MP4S) Exit Process. During 2026-2027, these same LEAs will be required to complete the Post-School Surveys.

Cohort 1 Requirements for the Exit Process Administration for 2025–2026:
-Attend the My Plan for Success Exit Overview Webinar on September 18, 2025, from 9:00–11:00 a.m. This session covers the administration of the Exit Process.
-Attend the My Plan for Success Exit Procedural Training Webinar on February 19, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 a.m. This session includes guidance on accessing and entering information into the online system.
