Special Instructions
The student does not have to actually receive migrant-funded services in order to be coded as a participant in the program (code 1). The student simply has to be eligible under the federal legal definition of an eligible migrant child. To be eligible under the federal definitions listed above, the child must have a current Certificate of Eligibility (COE) on file at the district or regional education service center completed and signed by an individual trained by the Texas Migrant Education Program (MEP). The district should ensure that all school-aged children coded on PEIMS and all children listed on the COE should match. Questions regarding eligibility, program qualification, etc. should be directed to the migrant funded staff at the regional education service center.
