Washington State ranks second in the nation for the number of its migrant students, whose families make an enormous and valuable contribution to our agriculture, fishing, forestry, and dairy industries.

The NWESD Migrant Education Program (MEP) is funded by the Washington State OSPI MEP Office and is contracted to deliver quality services to school districts with and without their own Migrant Education grants throughout western Washington. Dedicated to meeting the needs of our most at-risk population, the purpose of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning and productive employment. Migrant students are children who move from one school district to another alone or with family members to engage in a migratory agricultural work (including fishing and forestry).
