These measures are called Core Performance Indicators and they consider academic and technical performance, graduation from high school, placement in post-secondary education, and preparation for the workforce. Kalamazoo RESA CTE programs operate under region 20, CEPD 35, which can be used to locate data within the reports found at cteisreports.com
