Migrant Education Program

The Indiana Migrant Education Program administers a supplemental educational program for the children of migratory agricultural farm workers in Indiana. As part of this program and Title I, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, is carried out in the state of Indiana by the Indiana Department of Education, through Migrant Regional Centers located throughout the state.

Last year, there were more than 1800 migrant students present in Indiana in all areas of the state. The Indiana MEP collaborates with Indiana school districts through the Migrant Work Survey, which is required to be administered every year to all children upon their enrollment in school. Additionally, Migrant Regional Centers (MRCs) collaborate with districts where migrant students are attending, and provide supplemental support to these students during the school year.
