District MEP Collaboration

Consider working with another nearby district to provide services to migrant students and their families (Example: Vallivue Annual Parent Meeting)

Work with nearby district to develop Regional PAC if not having success with District PAC

Meet monthly with nearby District MEP director(s) to collaborate and discuss successes/challenges

Guidance with MEP funds and Translating for Districts

MEP funded staff can translate MEP related materials (i.e., Migrant PAC invites, agendas/minutes; information regarding Migrant funded services)

MEP funded staff cannot translate documents provided to all students (i.e., school newsletters, district newsletters, report cards, PTO newsletters, LEP Placement letters, etc)

If a MEP funded staff is translating general documents provided to all students, a proportionate percentage of the staff’s salary must come from other funds.
