Personnel:

The purpose of the Marshall County Migrant Program is to ensure that children of migrant workers have access to the same free, appropriate public education (FAPE), including public preschool education, provided to other children. To achieve this purpose, the Marshall County Migrant Education Program works with migrant families to overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory life in order to succeed in school and to successfully transition to post-secondary education or employment.

Funds provided under Title I, Part C will supplement other funding sources to be used for the education of migratory children and their families.

Identification of Migrant students and families is accomplished through employment surveys, interviews, and home visits.

The Marshall County School System will provide opportunities and resources to enable all migrant students to meet the challenging Alabama State academic standards.

Services are provided to all Migrant students while additionally targeting migrant students based on the following priorities:

• Priority: Tier I - Students who have moved during the current year and who are failing or at risk of failing.
• Priority: Tier II - Students who are failing or at risk of failing.

The migrant staff will support advocacy and outreach efforts to ensure Migrant families, and their children are informed of or gain access to other educational, nutrition, health, and social services that are available. These efforts will be coordinated with school counselors, migrant staff, homeless liaison, and school health services.
