. The state board shall adopt a state master plan for services
to migrant children. The plan shall include all of the following:
(a) Instructional activities on a regular and extended year basis.
These activities shall be designed to identify, assess, and provide
treatment for academic deficiencies of migrant children. Special
emphasis shall be given to oral and written communications, reading,
and mathematics. Small group or individual instruction and tutorial
services shall be provided to assist migrant children to attain
normal progress rates in all subject areas. All instructional
services shall be provided as supplements to regular programs of
instruction provided by the public schools for all children.
(b) Health and welfare services. These services shall be designed
to identify, assess, and provide treatment for conditions that
interfere with the education and learning of migrant children,
including dental, emotional, or environmental conditions. To the
extent possible, existing community resources will be utilized to
provide these services.
(c) Preservice and in-service education of professional and
nonprofessional personnel. This education shall be planned to prepare
school administrators, teachers, aides, and other personnel to meet
the special needs of migrant children.
(d) Supportive services including transportation, family liaison,
and other services necessary to the success of the programs.
(e) Child development activities including, but not limited to,
social, sensorimotor, conceptual and language development, and
perceptual discrimination activities for migrant infants and
prekindergarten children who are too young to participate in
instructional services normally provided by the public schools.
(f) The active involvement of parents, teachers, and community
representatives in the local implementation of migrant education
programs.
