Migrant Education Program

Title I Part C - Migrant Education Program

The federally-funded Migrant Education Program (MEP) has provided educational and supportive services to migrant children across the nation since 1966. The Louisiana State Board of Education administers the MEP in Louisiana, and funds services in local school districts where fishing and farmworker children live throughout the year. The MEP attempts to locate all eligible children across the state to ensure that they are identified and recruited. The MEP also works through local school districts during the regular academic year to support the education of migrant students.  Proof of citizenship is NOT required to qualify for the MEP.
