• The Colorado Department of Education has designated regions/programs in the state for the purpose of conducting ID&R  activities, collaborating with school districts in supporting the academic achievement of migrant students, supporting students with their postsecondary goals, providing opportunities for migrant parents to be active with their child’s education and developing leadership skills of migrant parents so they may serve on school, regional or state parent advisory committees.

• The Metro-MEP provides supplemental educational services and referrals for health or mental needs to migrant families.

Your child may qualify to receive supplemental educational services at no cost, such as tutoring, transportation, school supplies, and other services.
