Title 1-C Migrant Education Program
Do you fish, process fish, participate in commercial logging, or subsistence berry picking? Title I-C is a federally funded program serving Migrant Education Children.
Migrant Education Children are:
- Children birth to 20 years old who have not graduated from high school.
- They travel or move with a parent or guardian for commercial logging or fishing, subsistence fishing or fish processing, or subsistence berry picking. Children over 14 years of age that have also worked in one of these migrant activities may qualify on their own.
- The move or travel is a minimum of 7 nights & 8 days over the course of a year. The days and nights do not need to be consecutive or the move/travel may be permanent.
- In Kodiak, the move/travel must be a minimum of 20 miles from the child’s home for fishing or fish processing activities.
- Please review the eligibility information. Your family may qualify for Migrant Education Benefits.
If you are an existing Migrant Education Family, please review the benefits, services, and resources available to your children on the Migrant Education Program Flyer.
If you have questions or need more information about the KIBSD Migrant Education Program please contact the Federal Programs Office at (907) 486-7596
