Migrant Education Program
The Indiana Migrant Education Program (IMEP)
enables the unique needs of migrant children to be met through
instructional and support services with projects such as Texas
Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) Testing, Texas
Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) Testing, use
of Portable Assisted Study Sequence (PASS) courses, Project SMART
(Summer Migrants Access Resources Through Technology) and the
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program which is implemented to
provide children throughout the state with easy-to-read books.
Each year over 13,000 migrant students receive the
division's supplemental instructional services through 10-12 summer
projects and 30-35 regular school year projects in addition to a
statewide tutorial program. The division's tutors travel to migrant
camps to assist students with oral language and content areas skills
linked closely with those in the student's home states. Students'
education and health records are transferred to each New school
in accordance with federal requirements.
The supportive services include nutrition, health
care and dental care in cooperation with organizations such as the
Transition Resources Corporation (TRC), Indiana Health Centers,
Inc. (IHC) and the Consolidated Outreach Project (COP). Through
this coordinated effort, services are maximized to ensure the success
of students.
The Indiana Migrant Education Program serves children
of migratory farmworkers who qualify under several eligibility criteria.
Children must not have graduated from high school or have a GED
and be between the ages of three through twenty one. In order to
receive the services of this program, a member of the division staff
must complete a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for each child.
