id&r The New York State Identification/Recruitment Program (ID&R) was established by the Bureau of Migrant Education, State Education Department in 1974. The aim of this project is to identify and recruit migrant children (0-22 years old) throughout the state for educational and support service programs offered by the New York State Migrant Education Department. The (MEP) is a Federally Fund Program, authorized by Title 1, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
Before migrant children can be served by the Migrant Education Program (MEP), they need to be found eligible to receive program services. Identification and Recruitment (ID&R) is the first step in the effort to locate and serve the children of migrant farm workers. ID&R is critical because, often, the most mobile children are the hardest to find, the most in need, and the most forgotten. Recruiting all migrant children is a federal mandate. More importantly, the timely and effective identification of migrant children is the first step in ensuring that the services will go to those who need them most. |
