Mission

The Migrant Education Program aims to assist migratory students in overcoming challenges related to mobility, cultural and language differences, social isolation, and other issues associated with a migratory lifestyle. Its goal is to offer equitable resources, ensuring that all migrant children and youth are prepared for postsecondary education and the workforce, and to empower families for success.

MIGRANT ED PROGRAM PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE


Migrant Ed Program Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is open to interested parents/guardians of migrant eligible students.  Parent input is vital to the Migrant Ed Program's operations - we welcome new members and encourage anyone with a migrant eligible student to join the Committee.  The committee generally meets three times per year to discuss needs, offer ideas, and assist with program planning.

Priority for Service 



Priority for Service (PFS) Action Plan for Migrant Students As part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the Priority for Service (PFS) Action Plan is a required program activity for the Migrant Education Program. In providing services with funds received under this part, each recipient of such funds shall give priority to migratory children who have made a qualifying move within the previous 1-year period and who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the challenging State academic standards; or have dropped out of school. [§1304 [20 U.S.C. 6394](d)].



Plan de acción de prioridad para el servicio (PFS) para estudiantes migrantes como parte de la ley Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), el plan de acción de Prioridad para el servicio (PFS) es una actividad del programa obligatorio para el programa de educación migrante. Al brindar servicios con los fondos recibidos en virtud de esta parte, cada destinatario de dichos fondos dará prioridad a los niños migratorios que hayan realizado una mudanza que califique dentro del período anterior de 1 año y que estén fallando, o con mayor riesgo de fallar, para cumplir con Estándares académicos estatales; o ha abandonado la escuela. [§1304 [20 U.S.C. 6394] (d)].



Migrant Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Program

The Migrant Out-of-School Youth (OSY) Program of the Harlingen CISD is designed to identify and recruit OSY, high school-aged children not enrolled in school.  In addition, the Migrant Education Program will determine instructional and support services that will help improve the quality of life of  Migrant OSY.

 

The goal of the Migrant OSY Program is to ensure that all students have access to appropriate services based on identified needs. By conducting a needs assessment, the OSY Program can help determine services based on individual needs and provide a variety of services and opportunities for Migrant OSY on a regional basis to encourage and assist them in achieving their full potential.

 

Contact Ms. Martinez at 956-427-3425 or visit at 310 N. 13th St. if you want to have more information regarding supports for OSY.
