Eligibility Guidelines for the Migrant Education Program

When

Thursday, April 10, 2025 (10-11am)

This workshop will be recorded.

Description

In New York State, recruiters are trained on the eligibility guidelines as outlined in the Office of Migrant Education’s Non-Regulatory Guidance, and they complete the National Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for students who are determined to be eligible for MEP services. Eligibility can be complicated, and although understanding all of the tricky ins and outs is the responsibility of our ID&R team, it is useful for everyone who works for the MEP to understand the basics of eligibility- who qualifies and doesn’t qualify for our program, and why- in order to make eligibility referrals to recruiters. During this session, participants will receive a basic overview of migrant eligibility, and will learn when to make a referral for a potentially eligible student or family.
