Interstate Migrant Education Task Force--First Interim Report: Preliminary Findings and Recommendations. Education Commission of the States Report No. 111.
Education Commission of the States, Denver, CO.
The Education Commission of the States appointed a task force composed of members of Congress, state legislatures, state boards of education, chief state school officers, business, industry and other pertinent service agencies to recommend to the Federal, state and local governments methods whereby interstate and interagency cooperation can provide educational and other services to migrant workers and their families. The task force developed two broad categories of recommendations. The first category consisted of task force position statements that address goals for migrant education, limitations or guidelines in pursuit of cooperation, task force strategy, and the need for more public information concerning migrant students and families. In the second category, critical areas of change needed at the Federal, state and local levels were addressed. Within this category were such recommendations as assigning coordination responsibility, administrative procedures, interstate planning, and Federal and state program regulations. Suggestions for future project and task force action were included. Among the recommendations were: more emphasis be placed on the economic benefits migrants bring to local communities and school districts; after consultation with the states, separate regulations specifically for migrant students be developed by USOE; funding on a regional, multistate or migrant stream administration basis for planning and implementation strategy be developed by USOE.
