Our Goal For Today is to Report On: Session Laws of Wyoming, 2008 Ch. 95 [SECTION 9. HATHAWAY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM LONGITUDINAL STUDY] Section 901. Ø Ø A study of the long term effects of the Hathaway student scholarship program on students in Wyoming high schools using a random sampling of students Factors to be tracked and information gathered for the study shall include but not be limited to employment, location of employment, and earnings level after leaving a post secondary education Session Laws of Wyoming, 2012 Ch. 26 [EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY DATA SYSTEMS] Section 326. Ø Ø 6 Funds are appropriated to the department of workforce services, office of research and planning, to conduct data collection and analysis necessary for the education resource block grant model To assist with the collection and analysis of data necessary for the long term effects of the Hathaway student scholarship program on Wyoming high school students

Session Laws of Wyoming, 2008 Ch. 95 [SECTION 9. HATHAWAY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM LONGITUDINAL STUDY] Section 901. (a) For the period commencing July 1, 2008, and ending June 30, 2010, one hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($135, 000. 00) is appropriated from the school foundation program account to the department of education to conduct a study of the long term effects of the Hathaway student scholarship program on students in Wyoming high schools. Using a random sampling of students beginning grade nine (9), the study shall track the following three (3) student cohorts for at least ten (10) years after high school graduation: (i) A cohort group comprised of students beginning grade nine (9) in the school year immediately preceding the school year in which the Hathaway student scholarship program was implemented; (b) The size of the sampling under subsection (a) of this section shall be sufficiently large to enable a statistically significant sample size. Individual student information used within the study under this section shall be confidential and the department shall ensure appropriate student confidentiality measures are incorporated in the conduct of the study. (d) Factors to be tracked and information gathered for the study shall include but not be limited to: (vii) Employment, location of employment, and earnings level after leaving a post secondary education program at a college or the university. (e) On or before October 1 of each year in which the study is conducted, the department shall submit study progress reports to the joint education interim committee. 7

Session Laws of Wyoming, 2012 Ch. 26 [EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY DATA SYSTEMS] Section 326. (a) Based upon efforts initiated under 2003 Wyoming Session Laws, … Session Laws of Wyoming, 2008 Chapter 95, Section 901 (d) For purposes of supporting the data monitoring process within the education resource block grant model, and to support other education information data needs and analysis , up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500, 000. 00) is appropriated from the deferred account for the period commencing on the effective date of this section and ending June 30, 2014, to the department of workforce services, office of research and planning, to conduct data collection and analysis necessary for the education resource block grant model monitoring process is required under W.

Introduction to Report Components 1. 2. Contingencies, Inputs, and Constraints 3. 10 Report Overview Linear Perspective on Student Outcomes in the Labor Market

Report Overview Methodology-How we answer the three questions: BA/BS AA/AS 1. Hathaway Effects (Preliminary) Ø Employment Ø Location of earnings Male Female N N N Y Y Y N 2. Age and Gender are factors in segmented student educational and market strategies. Ø Who attends postsecondary Ø What fields of study students pursue Ø Outcomes in the workplace Ø Migration Ø Earnings 3. Student education and workplace strategies can be detected early and follow discernable patterns: Ø Extent and patterns of workplace attachment Ø Financing graduation 11

How State Research Offices Track & Measure Returns on Training & Education Investments Use the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Tax record of worker earnings linked on social security numbers to training program participants. Traditional Questions addressed with UI earnings linked to training & education: Ø Ø Ø Which re-employment training programs and services are most effective in returning UI claimants to work? Which education courses of study result in steady work and real earnings gains? Which training programs are effective in attaining self-sufficiency for low income workers? Research & Planning’s strategy: Use the WDQI funding to answer Traditional Questions and evaluate Hathaway Scholarship outcomes. 12

Forward 1. Organize student records into graduation financing strategies. 2. Transforming graduation financing strategies into outcomes analysis. 3. Compare outcomes in the labor market for Hathaway financing to control groups who financed their graduation by other means. 21

Hathaway Content Hathaway incentives are not a constant over time. Therefore, we do not expect Hathaway impact to be a constant over time. Hathaway=Scholarship Dollars + High School Success Curriculum Ø Scholarship dollars do not replace the same amount of tuition and other student costs over time Ø The proportion of students receiving each type of award (Provisional Opportunity, Performance, Honors) changes over time Ø Success Curriculum phase-in over SY 2007 -2008 through SY 2010 -2011 Contemporary Resource Investments and Incentives in Wyoming Education Ø Substantial increase in Education Block Grant Funding. Wyoming teacher salaries rose 17. 3% from SY 2005 -06 to SY 2006 -07 Ø Pell Grant awards in Wyoming rose by 39. 4% in Award Year 2009 -10 (from 8, 099 awards in 2008 -09 to 11, 286) and again by 26. 5% in Award Year 2010 -11 24

Report Recap 1. Hathaway Effects Ø Employment Ø Location of earnings Hathaway impact has a positive direction for the retention of Bachelor’s, and female Bachelor’s who stay in Wyoming earn more than those who leave. However, the statistical test of Bachelor’s retention and earnings differences for females are equivocal and unconvincing. 2. Age and Gender are factors in substantially related to: Ø Who attends postsecondary Ø What fields of study students pursue Ø Outcomes in the workplace Ø Migration 3. Student education and workplace strategies can be detected early and follow discernable patterns 40
