Inter-Instrastate Coordination

Inter-Instrastate Coordination

Section 1304(b)(3) requires State Education Agencies (SEA)s to use Migrant Education Program funds to promote interstate and intrastate coordination of services to migrant children.  This effort must include, but is not limited to, providing educational continuity through the timely transfer of pertinent school records, including health information. Interstate and intrastate coordination helps reduce the effects of educational disruption that migrant children incur as a result of repeated moves.

Interstate coordination refers to collaborative activities undertaken by two or more States to improve the education of migrant children in those States.  Ideally, this term refers to the collaborative activities that two or more States assume to improve the education of migrant children who move between those States.

Intrastate coordination refers to efforts involving two or more local operating agencies within a State to improve educational services to migrant children in that State.  The SEA may facilitate these efforts among local operating agencies or the local operating agencies may conduct them directly.

Interstate Coordination

Interstate Migrant Education Council (IMEC) 
The Interstate Migrant Education Council (IMEC), is an independent organization whose mission is to advocate policies that ensure the highest quality education and other needed services for the nation’s migrant children. IMEC’s volunteer members work to enhance educational opportunities for migrant students by examining policy issues concerning coordination between public and private agencies, including all levels of government.

Texas Migrant Interstate Program

The purpose of the Texas Migrant Interstate Program (TMIP) is to facilitate intra- and interstate coordination in order to help meet the educational needs of migrant children from Texas who migrate out of state.

The TMIP is a special project of the Texas Education Agency, Department of Contracts, Grants and Financial Administration. The TMIP facilitates intra- and interstate coordination of information, resources and services for migrant students, with an emphasis on serving students identified by the Texas MEP as “Priority for Services” (PFS).
