Program Manager
Valdosta State University and the GaMEP Conference

6. Major CNA Findings Migrant parents of pre-school age children are not fully engaged in developing strong educational support structures for their children in the home
Large numbers of migrant workers, ages 14-21, are working in agriculture and not pursuing any form of education
Migrant students in middle and high schools are not aware of the different types of graduation tracks or the requirements for each
Migrant parents are concerned about their inability to be able to assist their children with homework and other academic activities
Migrant parents are concerned about the lack of parental involvement/outreach with the school systems
7. Georgias Service Delivery Plan Goal 1: Migrant students in grades 4 through 8 will improve grades and CRCT scores in Reading/English and Math
Goal 2: Migrant students in grades 9 through 12 will improve End of Course Test, Georgia High School Graduation Test, and Georgia High School Writing Test outcomes, ultimately increasing the graduation rate
Goal 3: The GaMEP will add to the current number of educational and/or healthcare opportunities for migrant OSY by identifying one new opportunity in 2008-09, two in 2009-10, and three in 2010-11
Goal 4: The GaMEP will add to the current number of educational opportunities that will promote school readiness and parental engagement by developing or identifying one additional new educational opportunity in 2008-09, two in 2009-10, and three in 2010-11
8. Georgias Service Delivery Plan States goals are broad and may not always match the service providers as defined by local level CNAs
The SDP requires LEAs to more deeply define migrant child needs through their local CNAs, always being mindful of what the state has established on a broader level
LEAs submit instructional service implementation plans that address the defined needs of their children
Successful strategies will be adopted by the state over the next 24 months
