Southwest Arkansas Migrant Education Cooperative

• Why give special help to migrant children?
• Most school programs, including those
  supported by Title I, are set up on a nine-month
  academic calendar. However, when migrant
  children move with their families, their
  education as well as their lives is
  disrupted, often many times a year.

• These problems, combined with irregular school
  attendance, often lead to overall frustration and
  low academic performance, causing many migrant
  children to drop out of school in their teens.
