Title I Migrant Liaison
The overall purpose of the Migrant Education Grant is to address the unique educational needs of migratory students. The purpose of the Title I, Part C Migrant Education Program is to design programs that help migratory children overcome educational disruption cultural and language barriers, social isolation, health-related problems, and other factors inhibiting migratory children from doing well in school and making the transition to post-secondary education or employment [Title I, Part C, Sec. 1301(5)]. The goal of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to improve migratory students' academic success by providing supplemental educational programming and services to migratory children ages three through twenty-one.
The Green Bay Area Public School District uses Title I C funding to provide a Migrant Liaison to support students and parents in their educational experience. CESA 5 provides a summer program that is available to all Migrant Students in the area.
