These services help children of migrant workers overcome the disadvantages they face including disruption to their education. The purpose is to provide supplementary instructional and supportive services during both regular year and summer/intersession to enable migrant children to obtain a quality education. These services are offered, as instructional support assistance to meet the unique needs known to accompany migrancy. Interruptions in schooling, coupled with factors such as low socio-economic status and linguistic/cultural differences, put migrant children in a vulnerable position for achieving academic success.

• Targeted Technology Training (T3) is based on the notion that while computers have become prevalent for many, gaps in computer experience and training still exist for some. To address this deficiency, a series of computer classes was developed and is offered to adults in the county at no cost. Classes range range from the very basic level up to more advanced topics.
