Patterns and Trends In By Mazin A. Heiderson, Ph.D. and Edgar R. Leon, Ph.D. Statistical Brief No. 8 November 1996
This statistical brief provides a portrait of Michigan Migrant Education from the late 1980's to the mid-1990's. It reviews the legislative highlights of the Migrant Education Law and the activities that employ migratory workers in Michigan: agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Next, it details the goals of Migrant Education and the eligibility requirements for migratory children. Then, the report describes the state's profile within the U.S. scene for the number of children served and funding for the program. Basic counts and other statistical indicators are illustrated by tables and graphs. These include a breakdown by sex, ethnicity/race, qualifying activity, migrant status, home base state, and monthly and seasonal movement. After that, the report describes the location and type of local and regional migrant education projects in Michigan. For each one year service cycle (regular school year plus the following summer), tables and graphs show the number of children served by Michigan Migrant Education by age/grade, season, migrant status (formerly migratory and currently migratory). A map showing the location and capacity for migrant labor camps licensed by the Michigan Department of Public Health (now called Community Health). Finally, a list of sources and related reading completes the report. Hardcopy Price: $0.00
