602.19 - Postsecondary Education Counseling

The district believes in the importance of education to shape the lives of all students. Some students may consider postsecondary education and training beyond their secondary education and have questions related to the cost of education programs and the future employability of graduates. It is valuable for students who express an interest in postsecondary education to make informed decisions related to their future options.

The district will ensure that students in grades 11 and 12 who express interest in postsecondary education will be provided with basic information to assist in their decision making. This information includes, but may not be limited to:

1. A link to the annual report published by the State Board of Regents pursuant to Iowa Code 262.9(38); and
2. A link to the Iowa Student Outcomes internet site maintained by the Department of Education.

If the district employs a college and career transition counselor, this staff member will provide the information to interested students. If the district does not employ this type of counselor, the superintendent [or designee] will designate a staff member to ensure this information is provided to interested students.
