Migrant Education Program (MEP) is a federally funded program designed to support comprehensive educational programs for migrant children to help reduce the educational disruption and other problems that result from repeated moves.

Key Elements of Program:

• Identify and Recruit Eligible Migrant Students.
• Identification of Priority for Service Students who are Most at-Risk by Formula.
• Development of District Migrant Education Comprehensive Needs Assessment.
• Increase Opportunities for Migrant Parent Involvement.
• Create Implementation Plans for Service.
• Collaborative Academic and Social Service Provision.
• Decrease the Academic Gap Between Migrant Students and the General Student Population.
