SUBJECT:	Graduation Rate Update

Final corporation and high school graduation rates for the Class of 2006 are accessible using your corporation and pin numbers at the following secure site:

https://mustang.doe.in.gov/AP/logingrad.cfm

All documentation submitted through the Student Test Number (STN) Application Center was reviewed, and manual corrections were made when appropriate. No additional changes will be made to graduation rates at the school, corporation, or state levels.

The public release of this information is anticipated to occur later this week. A draft of the media release will be sent via SAMS and PAMS in advance of the public release.

We recognize that this process took a considerable amount of time at both the local and state levels, and we look forward to working together to improve this process next year. Related questions may be submitted via e-mail at gradrate@doe.in.gov or by phone at 317-232-9177.
