Migrant Education Program

The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment.

Migrant Program services are solely provided to migrant students and parents who qualify for the program. The district IDR Specialist works in collaboration with state recruiters to identify families who qualify for services. The following is the qualification criteria:

• The student or young adult must be under the age of 22 years old and not a high school graduate;
• One or both of the parents, the student or the unaccompanied young adult experienced a change of residence within the last 36 months;
• The student moved with his or her parent(s), joined his or her parents after a move, or preceded his or her parents prior to their move.
• The move was to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in agriculture or fishing and working with the raw product;
• The parent(s) obtained work in agriculture or fishing soon after their move.
• Note: The migrant student or migrant unaccompanied youth may re-qualify for the migrant program and renew the three-year eligibility period any time after a qualifying move and as long as the student meets the age requirement and has not graduated from high school.
