Migrant Education Program | Programa de Educación Migrante
The Migrant Education Program helps children and young adults overcome the challenges that arise from frequent moves their families make to follow work in agriculture so students can be successful academically, graduate from high school and go on to college or employment after graduation.
In addition to helping students and families, the MEP provides school districts with technical support in complying with state Title I-C and federal Title I-C requirements.
The MEP is comprised of eight Clackamas County school districts and is coordinated by Clackamas Education Service District.
El programa de educación migrante ofrece servicios y recursos para los estudiantes migrantes y sus familias. Desafortunadamente, los estudiantes migrantes pasan dificultades académicas debido a las mudanzas que sus familias tienen que hacer para trabajar en el sector agrícola. Es por eso que el Distrito de Servicios Educativos (ESD) de Clackamas coordina el Programa de Educación para Estudiantes Migrantes (MEP). El programa apoya a ocho distritos escolares del condado y provee apoyo técnico para ayudar a todos los distritos a cumplir con los requisitos del Título I-C del estado y del Título I-C federal. La meta del programa de educación migrante es apoyar a toda la familia para asegurar el éxito académico de los estudiantes.
