Education Program for Agricultural Families

The Education Program for Agricultural Families provides supplemental and support services to eligible students. The primary purpose of the program is to ensure that all students within the program reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment. The program ensures that children of migratory farm workers have access to the same free, appropriate public school education that is provided to other children. It seeks to remove barriers to school enrollment, attendance, and achievement of the children within the program.
