Migrant Program - MEP

The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students meet the required academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them to be responsible citizens, learn more, and obtain productive employment.

This program is funded by the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Chris Reykdal is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Bilingual Programs

The Transitional Bilingual Instructional Program (TBIP) exists to help English language learners meet state standards and develop English language proficiency in an environment where the student's language and cultural background are recognized as valuable learning resources.

The Washington State Migrant Education Program (MEP) is federally funded and managed by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).  

The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure high-quality education programs and supplemental support services so that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete an HSED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment. 

Migratory families, who engage in agricultural or fishing work, often have trouble receiving continuous, high-quality educational services because of their high rate of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, health-related problems, disruption of their children’s education, and the lack of resources in the areas in which they live and work. 

Identifying and recruiting eligible migratory children quickly and efficiently is the foundation of a robust Migrant Education Program (MEP). Before migratory children can be served, however, they must be identified and enrolled in the MEP. 

Juan Maravilla is the state ID&R Migrant Recruiter assigned to the Omak School District and will be working with the various stakeholders in the school district and community to help identify and recruit migrant families, ensuring they know the resources and services available through our program.  Our ID&R Recruiters bring a wealth of experience and passion for education, along with a deep commitment to serving the unique needs of migrant students.
