NYS Migrant Education

In the NYS Migrant Education Program only in school students (grades K - 12 or UG) can be classified Priority for Service (PFS).

In order for a student to be considered Priority for Service in the current academic year they must have both an educational interruption and one of the risk factors from the list below.

Education Interrupted during school year - Calculating from September 1 of the current academic year students who in the preceding 12 months changed school buildings or missed significant amount of school time (10 days or more) during the regular school year (usually defined as September through June) due to the student's family's lifestyle will be considered to have had their Education Interrupted.

This status is in effect until for the following September 1 when they will be reevaluated.
