Seasonal Farmworker Study (RFP)

The focus of the study is to investigate if there is a need for state investment to provide academic and support services to seasonal farmworker students similar to the supports provided to eligible migratory students under the title i, part c migrant education program (mep). If the academic needs are found to be comparable, the objective would be to expand the federal migrant education program by adding a state definition to include children of seasonal farmworkers who are at risk of not meeting state academic and assessment standards. This includes students in early learning age ranges as well as students who are enrolled in multilingual education programs.
