Migrant Education Program (MEP)
The general purpose of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure that migrant children fully benefit from the same free public education provided to other children. To achieve this purpose, the MEP helps State Educational Agencies and local operating agencies address the unique educational needs of migrant children to better enable migrant children to succeed academically.
As of December 2023, there are 1,060 students in the Migrant Education Program in Ontario School District - about one-third of our student population. To be eligible for the Migrant Program, a student must have moved within the past 36 months and from another district. The move had to have been made to find temporary or seasonal agricultural work.

What is a PAC?
The Migrant Education Program has a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that is made up of a group of parents who represent each school in our district. The PAC serves to provide feedback on school policies and procedures that our Migrant Education Program provides to their students. If you are interested in becoming a PAC member for the 2023 - 2024 school year, please call, Paola De La Cruz, at (541) 889-0040 for more information.
