Thoughts for Next Summer…

• The person completing the Secondary/OSY tab

on the SPSR and secondary forms needs to be

trained at the Summer Kick-off Meeting in May

– Avoid inaccuracies

– Meet timelines

• Online Learning - iPads

– What is available at your districts?

• Promote Health & Dental Screening for

secondary/OSY students

27

Both section (1) and (2) must be met

in order for a migrant child/youth to

be considered PFS.

PFS Definition

28

Migrant children/youth

only need to meet one

factor in each category to

be considered PFS.

(1) Educational Interruption

1-a) In the preceding 12 months, the

student has a QAD between September 1

and June 30

1-b) Student has missed 10 or more

consecutive days of school

1-c) Student has changed schools in the

same school district related to the child’s

migrant lifestyle

PFS Criteria – Section 1

29

(2) Failing, or Most At-Risk of Failing, to Meet

State Standards

2-a) Student scored below proficient in reading or math on

the State assessment

2-b) Student in grades 3-11 with no recent State assessment

and scored below proficient on local assessment

instruments

2-c) Student identified as non-English proficient or as an EL

using the State-adopted language proficiency assessment

2-d) Student repeated a grade level or is over-age for grade

2-e) High school student has not accrued the needed credits

to graduate with his/her peers

2-f) Out-of-school youth (OSY)

PFS Criteria – Section 2

30

• Federal law requires that the MEP must provide

services first to migrant students who have been

identified as PFS.

• An indicator in the MN Monitoring Tool will be

added that looks specifically at how local

projects identify and serve PFS students.

• Finally, Federal MEP allocations may be reduced

in the future (due to reauthorization & declining

numbers of migrants across the US) resulting in

MEPs being required to provide services to

those most in need.

Why Identifying PFS Migrant

Students is Important…

Common Issues Faced by Families

• Secondary students

choosing to work

• Communication with the

Communicating with Coordinators

37

• Knocking on door (5 recruiters)

• Flyers (2 recruiters)

• Talking with people (3 recruiters)

• Word of mouth (1 recruiter)

• Communication with employers (2 recruiters)

• Visiting schools (1 recruiter)

• Facebook (1 recruiter)

Most Effective Strategies for Recruiting

38

Training that Would be Helpful for Recruitment

• Webinars

• NASDME

• TVOC resources

• Karen and Somali

Most Important Training Needs

• Reporting logistics

• Balancing support and

• Available resources

Rank Order of Job Responsibilities of

Local Recruiters

43

Most Common Needs of the Migrant

Families in the Program

44

• Keeping students in school during regular school year

• Local calendar changes and effects on families/

students

• Time needed for paperwork and data

• Determining how to allocate funds to be more efficient

• Trying to get older students to attend

• The constant change of students and helping teachers

be open and accepting to new students

• Differentiation for different skill levels

Most Challenging Obstacles Faced in

Coordinating the MEP

45

• Odyssey (only 3 respondents)

• A concern is the district offers

credit based on seat-time, not

actual grade whereas our

migrant students would need

to maintain the 70+%

District Access to Online Secondary

Courses for Credit

46

• Piloted new tools and procedures during 2015

• Districts need more support around:

– Correct labeling and storing of Title I-C funded items

– Differentiation in smaller programs

– Communication Strategies between TVOC/recruiters

– Balancing service and record keeping duties

– Support for ELs, Special Ed needs

– Recruitment ideas for older kids/secondary

– Expanding ideas for uses of MEP funding

Fewer migrant students participating than in

previous years

Fewer secondary migrant students participating

than in previous years

Parent involvement is challenging during the

summer

The food backpack program was very successful

MEP staff across the state are extremely devoted

to migrant students and the program with many

returning to work in the program year after year

Trends Discovered Across the State

61

Provide staff with PD on effective summer

learning strategies and programming to increase

the use of research-based summer instructional

methods to make summer feel different from the

regular school year (e.g., project-based learning,

thematic-based programming and instruction).

Provide staff with PD on culturally-relevant

instruction and appropriate strategies and

supports for migrant English learners.

Evaluator Recommendations

62

Create a needs assessment toolkit unique to the

State that projects can use to determine local

needs.

Provide staff with an opportunity to share

effective strategies for involving parents in the

education of their children during the summer

program.

Create a plan for ensuring that the credit accrual

needs of migrant secondary students are met

should current credit accrual options become

unavailable.
