Abstract | This is the first of two volumes of a report summarizing participation and achievement information from the 1984-85 school year of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act (ECIA) Chapter 1 Migrant Education Program. This volume presents participation information provided by state educational agencies. This school year was the first for which such data were gathered. The document contains the warning that inconsistency, incompatibility, and inadequacy among the state data contributed to an incomplete description of migrant participation. States with more than 10,000 participants included California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona. States with fewer than 100 participants included New Hampshire, West Virginia, Rhode Island, and South Dakota. The proportion of male to female students was roughly the same. Sixty-nine percent of the participants were Hispanic, 13% were White, and 6% were Black. Fifty-two percent of the participants were settled-out migratory youths (formerly migrant), 30% were interstate migratory youths, and 18% were intrastate migrants. Most of the participants were in grades K-6. Reading and mathematics instruction were received by the largest percentage of participants. In the regular term, 32% of the students also received attendance, social work, and guidance services, and 25% received health services. During the summer term, 55% received transportation services. Of the total staff full-time equivalents during the regular term, 29% were teachers, 46% were teacher aides, and 8% were supporting services staff. During the summer term, 34% were teachers, 35% were teacher aides and 12% were support-services staff. Appendices comprising more than half the document offer 16 tables of participation data broken down by state and describe the data verification process. (TES) |
