Program for Migrant Children's Education: 1987 Washington State Evaluation Report.
Rasp, Alfred, Jr.; Plato, Kathleen C.
This report describes the instructional and support services delivered directly to migrant children and youth in Washington State. It also describes the statewide services provided through special projects and programs. The report details the use of federal grant awards to the state for fiscal 1987. There are five sections to the report. Section 1, "State-level Administrative Activities," describes the role of the state migrant education office and its capabilities for monitoring, record-keeping, staff training, and data transfer. The section also discusses the Migrant Education Regional Offices (MERO), whose staffs are responsible for inservice education, coordination of state-level projects, facilitation of parent involvement, and development and distribution of materials. Section 2 discusses the "Eligible Student Population," focusing on aspects of family mobility, migration patterns, and other state demographics. The section also includes break-downs of the migrant children population in terms of living status, the time of year they attend school programs, and their ethnic background. Section 3 presents an account of the number of children who actually received instructional or support services through the migrant education program during the 1986-87 school year. It further defines the served population using characteristics described in state law. Section 4 discusses student achievement statistics. Section 5 looks at "Statewide Services and Special Programs," particularly in the areas of health, special education, and preschool programs. Fourteen tables illustrate various demographic aspects of the state population, migrant students and their standardized test scores. (TES)
