The Migrant Education Program

The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is mandated to accurately count all eligible migrant student ages 3 through 21. This is done through intensive identification and recruitment of eligible migrant children, and is essential for the allocation of federal dollars to our state migrant education programs.

The purpose of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that children of migrant farmworkers have access to the same free, appropriatee public education, including public preschool education, provided to other children. To achive this purpose, the MEP helps state and local education agencies to remove barriers to school enrollment, attendance, and academic achievement of migrant children. Migrant Education Program supportive services, including identification and recruitment activities, are designed to implement the steps necessary to carry out this important work. As such, these activities, conducted in every school district where migrant children reside, are the foundation of the Migrant Education Program.

The MEP was established during the school 1986-87 year in Putnam County. The first year the program recruited 236 migrant children. As years have passed the number of eligible students recruited has fluctuated between 705 and 692.
