How can Even Start Family Literacy programs be coordinated with Title l, Part C, migrant education programs?
Migrant education programs generally coordinate resources and integrate services using federal resources, including Title I, Part B, state-administered Even Start Family Literacy programs. The federal Migrant Education Program (MEP) authorizes states to design services that bridge gaps in a student’s education caused by migration to work in agriculture and other qualifying industries. Family literacy activities are among the allowable strategies to meet the unmet needs of preschool migratory children. Migrant education funds may provide family literacy services to children from birth, as well as to their parents, depending on the state’s priority for providing services to migrant students. Therefore, states and local migrant education projects may choose family literacy as a means to serve migrant children and their parents. Funds or services may be used to locally match Even Start program funds.
