PREFACE
This report makes a matter of record the results of the first year of operation of an agreement between the University of Alabama and the Alabama State Department of Education. It reflects the outcomes of a survey to identify children of migrant workers and certain former migrant workers in the Blount, Cullman, Pike, and Washington County School Systems and the. Demopolis and Elba City School Systems. It should be of some interest to all those people who are seeking to improve education.
The purpose of this report is to: 1. Report the detailed results of surveys undertaken
which identified migrant children. 2. Document processes followed to provide a basis for
developing a system for identification for migrant children. 3. Provide background information to those interested regarding migrant education through a survey of pertinent literature. One year of operation during the period up to August 31, 1969, to identify migrant children in Alabama has been completed. During the period much has been 1,arned about what constitutes a successful identification system and much remains to be learned and put into practice. This publication includes background information believed to be necessary to establish a general frame of reference for persons engaged in identifying and educating migrant children. This publication presents a discussion of the background information related to migrant children and presents a detailed analysis of the
ii
results of the identification procedures conducted under the leadership of the University of Alabama in consultation and concert with the Alabama State Department of Education. It is hoped that this background will serve as a planning base for a refinement of the procedures used to identify migrant children and ultimately to provide an improved educational opportunity for boys and girls in Alabama and elsewhere.
