Purpose: 

This program focuses on the provision of the following services for eligible children of migratory farm workers and migratory fishers: identification and recruitment of students, the intrastate and interstate transfer of student records, supplemental instruction, and health and other support services.

The MEP is a limited, competitive grant program open to all local educational agencies (LEAs) in New Jersey. LEAs may establish partnerships with one or more community-based organizations (CBOs). Two grantees will be selected through a competitive grant process to provide services to eligible migratory children, youth and their families; one in the Northern region of the State and the other in the Southern region of the State. Please see NGO for the list of counties to be served in each region.

This is the first year of a three-year program.

Based on the availability of federal MEP funds, this first year of the grant program will begin June 1, 2024 and end on December 31, 2025.
