Title I, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended
The goal of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure that all migratory children reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma or complete a high school equivalency program that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment. Funds support high quality education programs for migratory children and help ensure that migratory children who move among the States are not penalized by disparities among States in curriculum, graduation requirements, and State academic standards. Funds also ensure that migratory children not only are provided with appropriate instructional and/or support services that address their unique needs but also that such children receive full and appropriate opportunities to meet the same State academic standards that all children are expected to meet. Federal funds are allocated by formula to State educational agencies (SEAs) based on the three year average of the number of eligible migratory children, ages 3 through 21, residing within the state, the number of migratory children, ages 3 through 21, receiving summer services during the previous year, and each state’s per pupil expenditure for education.

This is one of a number of Department programs that provides funds that may be used to support broadband access. The allowability of costs is always situation and program specific. For that reason, if you are considering using funds under one of these programs for costs related to broadband access, you must first ensure that the use of the funds is, under the specific circumstances of the expenditure and the program authority selected, reasonable and necessary for the purposes of that program, and does not violate other program requirements, such as supplement not supplant, if it applies to program. We also note that, while funds under one of these programs can be used on broadband access, the programs’ purpose is not primarily focused on that issue.
