Parent Component
Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is a very important component of Migrant Education, and Region V is actively involved in providing direction and leadership. Active parent participation begins at the school district level by involving parents in local Migrant Advisory Council meetings. Region V encourages parent involvement and actively provides information and training in education programs that enhance and strengthen parent participation in their children's academic achievement.
Regional Parent Advisory Committee
The Regional Parent Advisory Committee (RAC) consists of two representatives from each participating elementary school district and secondary schools. Meetings are conducted using parliamentary procedure. Presentations and information are provided as requested by the RAC members on issues that promote parent involvement and education. Scholarships are sponsored through the RAC and made available to eligible migrant students who plan to attend college.
