Is Ohio using Common Measures?

Yes. Under waiver authority, Ohio is now accountable for meeting Common Measures for youth (as well as adults and dislocated workers) instead of the former statutory measures.

I was told that all youth are in all the Common Measures. Is that true?

No. There is no older youth/younger youth designation in Common Measures, so age is not a factor in determining whether a youth is included in a particular measure. But each measure clearly defines who is included. For example, the Literacy/Numeracy measure includes ONLY youth who are out-of-school AND basic skill deficient. In school youth are excluded from this measure. For detailed information on Common Measures, see USDOL TEGL 17-05.
