TX-NGS Summer Enrollments Guidance for Migrant Education Program (MEP)
An important first step in planning MEP-funded services is to determine what other services are available to address the identified needs of migratory children. Other available services will likely vary among local educational agencies (LEAs) and from one year to the next, based on resources (e.g., community-specific programs, temporary funding or Federal ESSER funds). It is important to note that migratory children must be considered for other available services on the same basis as other children.
MEP programs and projects should gather the information necessary to determine whether the other services are likely to address the identified needs of the migratory children in the MEP’s service area, and if so, coordinate with those programs to facilitate access for migratory children. If the other services do not address the identified needs of migratory children, the MEP may be able to modify or add to, those services. Communication and coordination with other service providers are key to ensuring that MEP funds are used in a supplemental manner.
In order to facilitate accurate reporting of summer enrollments in TX-NGS, the Federal Program Compliance Division has developed TX-NGS Summer Enrollment Guidance which provides step-by-step instructions on how migratory children receiving summer services should be encoded into TX-NGS. The document includes guidance on:
- Summer Enrollments for Migratory Students Receiving MEP-Funded Services on Campus
- Summer Enrollments for Migratory Students Receiving MEP-Funded Services NOT on Campus
