The selected grantee will be responsible for the identification and recruitment of eligible migrant children and youth in Tennessee. To do so, the grantee must hire, train, and supervise recruiters; determine and document recruiters’ proficiency in all modes of communication in both English and the language other than English spoken by migrant children and their families; maintain accurate updated files; and compile reports. Recruiters should provide support by interviewing potential migrant children and families to determine eligibility for MEP as well as identifying and recruiting eligible migrant children throughout the state of Tennessee as defined in ESEA Title I, Part C, Section 1309 (20 U.S.C. § 6399). The grantee will complete the certificates of eligibility (COEs) to be provided to both the State and the applicable LEA. The grantee will also provide appropriate instructional and humanitarian services to migratory Pre-K students, Out-of-School Youth (OSY), and migratory students in LEAs who do not accept Title I, Part C funds. To do so, the grantee must hire, train, and supervise tutors and other staff, determine migratory students’ academic and humanitarian needs, and develop and deliver plans for services. Additionally, the grantee will provide services around other records and reports, including the Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA), the Service Delivery Plan (SDP), and maintenance and analysis of data for required federal reporting around the program. Further, at least twice annually, the grantee will collaborate with stakeholders to organize and convene a migrant PAC. This PAC will provide valuable feedback on migrant programming across the state.
