Tool Search: PSO Interview

The BIE PSO (Post School Outcome) Interview tool records former student responses to questions regarding the student's departure from the school system one year prior. The information collected helps schools better understand student exits and post-schooling activities and identify where to allocate programs and resources to meet student needs. This tool is available to both District Edition and NASIS State Edition users.

This tool syncs to the NASIS State Edition. A successful sync-to-state requires Zones to be set up.

An expandable Interview Introduction section provides users with an introductory script to help explain the purpose of the call to interview respondents.

Understanding the BIE PSO Interview Tool

The BIE PSO Interview tool includes the following collection fields. Each section can be expanded or collapsed for easier viewing.

Students who left the school in a prior year do not populate in a 'Student' search in the current year. Students only populate in a Student search if searched within a school year they have an enrollment. Otherwise, use 'All People' when searching for former students.
