Educational and support services can be provided for children and youth from birth to 21 of migratory agricultural workers, dairy workers, and certain food processing workers. These children must have crossed a school district line with or to join a migrant parent, guardian, or on their own within the preceding 36 months. The move must have been to engage in temporary or seasonal employment in agriculture. If you are uncertain of whether you or a child would qualify for migrant education services, contact the Mississippi Migrant Education Service Center at Mississippi State University—(662) 325-1815—to find the Migrant Education Recruiter closest to you.
