Overview
The term migratory child means a child who is, or whose parent or spouse is, a migratory agricultural worker,
including a migratory dairy worker, or migratory fisher, and who, in the preceding
36 months, in order to obtain, or accompany such parent or spouse, in order to obtain,
temporary or seasonal employment in agricultural or fishing work Section 1309 No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001.
Migrant Education Program funds support high quality education programs for migratory
children and help ensure that migratory children who move among the states are not
penalized in any manner by disparities among states in curriculum, graduation requirements,
or state academic content and student academic achievement standards. Migrant Education
Program funds also ensure that migratory children not only are provided with appropriate
education services (including supportive services) that address their special needs
but also that such children receive full and appropriate opportunities to meet the
same challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards
that all children are expected to meet. Federal funds are allocated by formula to
State Education Agencies (SEA), based on each state's per pupil expenditure for education
and counts of eligible migratory children, age 3 through 21, residing within the state.
The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all 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.
