What Makes A Child Eligible for Migrant Educational Assistance?
To qualify for the Migrant Education Program, a migrant child must have
moved within the past 36 months across state or school district lines
to enable the child, the child's guardian or a member of the child's
family to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in an agricultural or
fishing activity. A migratory child includes youth who themselves are
migratory workers or spouses of migratory workers. The program serves
children and youth ages 3 through 21 who have not graduated from high
school or earned a General Education Diploma. For more information about Georgia's Migrant Education Program, go to http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/ci_iap_migrant.aspx
