The Title I Part C - Arkansas Migrant Education Program is a federally funded program that provides services to the children of families who move seeking temporary or seasonal work in Arkansas’s agricultural and fishing industries. The program is designed to help children ages three (3) through twenty (21), who are uniquely affected by the combined effects of poverty, language, cultural barriers, and difficulties pertaining to the migratory lifestyle. The primary goal of the Migrant Program is to help our students meet the same challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards that are expected of all children.

The 2021 Migrant State Seminar was held from September 8 – 10, 2021, at the Hot Springs Convention Center.  This was the first seminar in hybrid modality, where Migrant staff members were able to attend virtually.
