Tennessee Parent Occupational Survey

MIGRANT EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is authorized by Part C of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA) assists states in improving educational opportunities for migratory children to help them succeed in the regular school program, meet the same State academic content and student academic achievement standards that all children are expected to meet, and graduate from high school.

The program aims at identifying and servicing children between the ages of 3 and 21 who are, or whose parents or spouses are, migratory workers, and who, in the preceding 36 months, moved in order to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in agricultural or fishing activity.

The general purpose of the MEP is to ensure that migratory children fully benefit from the same free public education provided to other children.
What is the Occupational Survey?

The Occupational Survey is a tool that Tennessee uses to meet our state requirements and correctly identify and recruit all eligible migrant children residing in Tennessee.

If you would like to opt out of completing the form annually and would rather complete the form upon your child entering Pre-K, Kindergarten, 5 grade or 9 grade, please fill out the form by scanning the QR code below. If you have already opted out, you don’t have to complete the Occupational Survey unless your child is entering Pre-K, Kindergarten, 5 grade, or 9 grade.
