Also discussed are the subjects of parent involvement, identification and recruitment, the Migrant Student Record Transfer System, the dissemination program (media), and health issues. The state program plan also covers resident children to be served, services to private school children, identification and recruitment, state parent advisory council, coordination with other programs, coordination with other states, fiscal and administrative requirements, evaluation to determine program effectiveness, evaluation to improve services, and use of funds. Local projects are discussed in terms of appropriate use of funds, project size, scope and quality, and parent and teacher consultation.
