Our Purpose
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure migrant children receive a quality education. We support school districts in helping to ensure migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory lifestyle. These efforts are aimed at helping 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.

Texas Migrant State Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
The State Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is an advisory group composed of 15 members, with the majority being parents of migrant children. The role of the State PAC is to advise TEA in planning, implementing, and evaluating the state program design to meet the educational needs of migrant children. In advising TEA, the State PAC is invited to comment and make recommendations to improve:
the Texas Migrant State Plan,
programs and services offered to migrant children,
the evaluation of the migrant programs,
the quantity and quality of parent involvement, and
other items which may be appropriate to the role of the State PAC.
All recommendations made by the State PAC are forwarded to the State Director of the Migrant Education Program for consideration and appropriate action.
