Welcome to the Arizona Migrant Education Program

The Arizona Migrant Education Program (MEP) is a federally-funded, state operated program which was reauthorized under Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title I Part C by the U.S. Department of Education.

 

  • Our mission is to impact teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms so that migratory students achieve high academic success.
  • Program provides supplemental services to children and youth of migratory workers from the ages of three through twenty-one.
  • Funding and support to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).
  • LEAs are required to provide the structure, support, and scope of available services to migratory children and youth to ensure their achievement of higher academic standards and graduation from high school.

 

Agriculture in the State of Arizona is a 10.3-billion-dollar industry. Our state is the winter lettuce capital of the world, producing ninety percent of the nation’s leafy vegetables. Under the Arizona Farm Bureau,we are ranked second nationally in the production of lemons, and third in tangerine production. There are over 10,000 children of migratory workers with educational needs in Arizona. There are a wide range of services provided before school, after school and inter-sessions hours including, but not limited to family outreach, in-home support services, language and cultural training, Out-of-School Youth (OSY) intervention, preschool programming, student leadership opportunities and summer and extended day programming. Our primary focus is the identification and recruitment of migratory students and ensuring that supplemental programs and advocacy align with the state’s efforts to transition to the rigorous research-based reforms set forth by the Arizona Department of Education.
