Supplement NOT Supplant

"Supplement, not supplant" is the phrase used to describe the requirement that MEP funds may be used only to supplement the level of funds that would, in the absence of MEP funds, be made available from non-Federal sources for the education of children participating in MEP projects. SEAs and local operating agencies may not use MEP funds to supplant (i.e., replace) non-Federal funds.

Additional Research

Professional Development

All school personnel have been provided professional development to enhance their ability to understand and appropriately respond to the needs of migrant students. Sec 13014(c)(5); Sec 1304(c)(6)(B).

Two types of professional development:1. PD for staff paid with Program funds.2. PD for staff working with migrant students

Professional DevelopmentStaff Working with Migrant Students

Do staff working with migrant students understand the migratory lifestyle?

Have you ever said or been asked any or all of the following questions?“Why do families leave during the school year?” “Don’t they know they are hurting their child’s education?”“Couldn’t they leave their kids with someone here if they must go?”“How do they expect their children to make-up for lost work?”

Professional Development• Staff should be able to articulate the mobility patterns of migrant

students/families in their district.• Should be familiar with school district policies on extended absence

agreements.• Should be able to provide migrant students resources or options for

when they are not in school.• Should be familiar with the supplemental services being provided

under the Migrant Education Program grant.• Should be able to identify the resources and services a student could

access, besides the Migrant Program, when they return to school.• Should know who is a Priority for Service migrant student.• Should be provided resources and information on how they may be

able to adapt instruction for ELL migrant students.

Professional Development: Making it Meaningful

• Migrant students/ parents panel to share their stories as part of professional development work session.

• Book study – “Where Do I Go from Here?” Karen S. Vocke

• Book study – “Dream Field” an anthology of Mount Vernon Migrant Youth and their Allies
