Mission
To impact teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms so that migrant students achieve high academic success.
Program Description
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is a federally funded, state-operated program under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that provides supplemental program services to the children, ages 3 through 21, of seasonal or temporary agricultural workers. In Arizona, the program delivers services primarily through local educational agencies (LEAS) that design programs to meet the unserved needs of children residing in their area. To facilitate broader services, some provisions are delivered through statewide models which, in particular, are designed to meet the credit accrual and informational needs for students.

Bi-National Transfer Document
The Bi-National transfer document is an outgrowth of Mexico’s National Educational System. The transfer document contains academic information on binational migrant students. It is also used as a national report card with educational enrollment information that allows migrant students moving to Mexico to be enrolled in their public school system without delay, and in the grade which corresponds to their age and level of studies.
