On the Move: Migrant Education 1992-93.
Petro, Janice Rose; And Others
During the 1992-93 school year, 13 local migrant education projects, conducted by 5 Colorado school districts and 8 boards of cooperative educational services, served 2,233 migrant students in 326 Colorado schools. In the summer of 1993, 13 migrant education projects served 2,714 students in 15 schools. Federal funds in the amount of $2,303,388 were expended on local program operations, administration, summer health services, and the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS). Primary areas of instruction during the regular year were reading, English for second-language learners, language arts, and mathematics. In the summer, instructional areas expanded to include vocational and career education, dental instruction, physical education, health education and safety, arts and crafts, swimming, social studies, music, and science. Students in need also received support services. The report contains information on staff, parent involvement, and coordination with other agencies. Program evaluation showed strong support for MSRTS and the summer migrant health program. Student achievement was measured with norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests and credits earned through PASS (Portable Assisted Study Sequence). Although not all program objectives were met, reading and mathematics programs overall were effective in improving the achievement level of participants. The document contains goals for the 1993-94 school year and recommendations for future migrant programs. (KS)
