During fiscal year 1974, the program aimed to: identify migrant children in the State, provide a complete educational and health record for each child identified, raise or maintain the students' educational level, screen the children for health problems and arrange for health services as needed, increase parental involvement, expand the Career Development Program, improve the quality of the Migrant Center's staff members, and research existing Career Development programs for their contribution to migrant education. A total of 2,304 students participated in the program. Evaluation data were obtained from the Migrant Center staff, records, reports, test results, and on-site interviews with administrators, tutors, and students. The Wide Range Achievement Test was used to evaluate student achievement in reading, spelling, and arithmetic. Student attitudes were assessed at the beginning and end of the year using a scale of Student Attitudes. Findings showed that the program was meeting all except the last objective. This report includes data on the: children served, exemplary programs, inservice training, special and supportive services, resource center library, program effectiveness and integration, relationship with the regular Title I program and with other programs, community involvement, nonpublic school participation, dissemination, and summer school program.
