State Univ. of New York, Geneseo. Coll. at Geneseo. Migrant Center.; Florida State Dept. of Education, Tallahassee.
Based on research by the Migrant Education Secondary Assistance (MESA) project, this report presents final recommendations for the improvement of migrant student graduation rates and secondary education. The strongest areas of need revealed in MESA findings were: (1) better identification and recruitment of secondary migrant students and dropouts; (2) increased services to migrant dropouts; (3) more interstate, intrastate, and interprogram coordination and cooperation to benefit migrant youth; (4) greater facilitation of credit transfer and access to credit-earning opportunities; (5) more work-study programs; (6) greater advocacy for secondary level migrant issues within the public school system and the community; (7) greater involvement of the whole family in education; (8) development of a policy to avoid grade retention; and (9) greater flexibility in programming and scheduling. Several specific recommendations accompany discussion of each area of need. This pamphlet contains descriptions of other MESA publications. (SV)
