K12: participants tracked based on date of exit.
Community college participants tracked based on the last year when they were enrolled.
Unemployment Insurance data contain wages only for those employed in an occupation or industry covered by Unemployment Insurance in California. This excludes individuals employed by the military or federal government, and those who are self-employed, employed out of state, unemployed, or not in the workforce after completion of an award.
Data will not be displayed until two years after a student exits the system.
A student's academic year of exit is the end of the academic year in which they were last enrolled in the community college system
Quarterly wages will always be calculated using Q4 of the year of exit (i.e., if a student was last enrolled in 2017-18, earnings will be calculated using wages in October-December 2018)
The definition of exiters in the Student Success Funding Formula only includes students who exited the district while this metric includes students who exited the community college system and all postsecondary. Therefore, this metric will not align with the SCFF.
Because this metric measures the outcome in the subsequent year, data will not be available for the most recent year.
