What is the definition for Priority for Services (PFS)?
As funding is not available to meet all needs of all migrant students, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Section 1304.(d) established a PFS requirement. Recipients of Migrant Education Program (MEP) funds must first address the needs of migrant children that are failing, or at risk of failing, to meet the state’s challenging academic content and achievement standards, and whose education has been interrupted during the regular school year.
