No. The migrant education program is a Title I program, and as such, it will always be a supplemental program to all other district programs. The ELL/ESL program in a district is primarily locally funded, although state and other federal funds under Title III are also used to meet the needs of English language learners. The MEP frequently compliments other district programs designed for ELL/ESL students, although it will never be the primary provider of those services.
