The Migrant Education Program helps migrant students obtain social services as well as medical and dental care for problems which impede their school work.  The following is a summary of services, which are provided in coordination with parents, schools, medical providers, dentists and community social service agencies.

Referrals for Migrant Education/Health/Support Services

A migrant student who has a health or personal problem can be referred to Migrant Education staff by parents, school personnel or community social service agencies.  Migrant staff will work with existing medical dental or social agencies to ensure that migrant students receive the services to meet his/her needs.  This may include but is not limited to translation/interpretation, transportation assistance with applying for public and private benefits e.g. Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, Cal Kids, public housing, food, clothing, assistance in making medical or dental appointments and advocacy.  In addition, Migrant staff will work with parents and schools to ensure that students receive state mandated screenings and vaccinations.

Migrant funds are used only as a last resort and on a limited basis when other resources are not available.
