The handbook, published by the State Department of Education of North Carolina, was designed to provide answers to many questions pertaining to the administration of migrant education projects. As stated in the handbook, "local educational agency personnel who have a responsibility in the local migrant education project should become familiar with this material and should make use of it during the design, development, implementation and evaluation of the project." The document is divided into 4 chapters: "Introduction," which discusses the Atlantic Coast migrant stream and North Carolina's migratory children; "The State Migrant Program," which deals with administration, objectives, priorities, and the Migrant Education Center; and "Local Migrant Projects," which discusses such topics as planning program activities and evaluation, project staffing and staff development, and travel and equipment. An appendix provides a model for various administrative phases of local migrant education projects. Also included are reprints of Federal laws and amendments defining migrant status and regulating educational programs. (EJ)
