Migrant Education Program

Purpose and Goal for Migrant Education Program

The Pennsylvania Migrant Education at Millersville University provides instructional and support services to children in Lancaster, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton Counties.  Lancaster and Berks Counties are Project Areas 4 and 5 respectively.  Lehigh and Northampton Counties together comprise Project Area 2.  Our purpose is to support the academic development of migrant students who have moved into the local public schools and to help them achieve the same high standards as those students who have not experienced an interruption in their education caused by their migrant lifestyle.

MEP Mission Statement

The Pennsylvania Migrant Education Program will assist migrant students and their families in overcoming the barriers created by their move into a new school district and community. We will make the best educational services available to our students by offering supportive services to the school districts where they reside, by encouraging migrant parents to become involved in their children's education and by providing our students with comprehensive academic and emotional support.
