Migrant education program consortium incentive grants

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction received a $117,588 formula grant award dated July 1, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Migrant Education Program Consortium Incentive Grants (CFDA 84.144). This award supports Wisconsin's participation in a State Educational Agency (SEA) consortium designed to improve the coordination of migrant education services and address the educational needs of migratory children whose schooling is frequently interrupted by geographic mobility.

The grant funds high-quality project designs and coordinated services that enhance educational continuity for migrant students across state and intrastate boundaries. Key deliverables include facilitating credit accrual and transcript transfer across jurisdictions, aligning graduation requirements, coordinating immunization record transfers, and providing language instruction support. Through consortium partnerships with other SEAs and appropriate entities, the program works to ensure migratory children receive consistent educational services and support regardless of geographic relocation. The award period extends through September 30, 2026.
