Springfield School District receives federal funds to support a Migrant Education program. The purpose of this program is to provide a range of services to migrant children, including academic support, counseling and communication skills.

Using criteria from the federal grant, Springfield School District has identified migrant students at the secondary level as "most in need".

Academic tutoring and translation services have been provided at high school and middle schools with the highest migrant population.

In order to meet the needs of this highly mobile population, Springfield School District also participates in a migrant education summer school program in conjunction with several adjacent school districts. Students receive transportation services and continued academic and communication skills.

Many migrant students are also eligible to receive English as a Second Language support.

Questions concerning the Migrant Education grant should be directed to the Curriculum Office at 726-3254.
