States must frequently decide between either offering direct services to children who are easily found or spending greater sums to find the more mobile child. with little left to serve him. No one can effectively argue that the children presently served under this program are in need of health. educational. and support services. whether they moved 6 months ago or 4 years ago. However. the Migrant Education Program must return to its pdmary mission of finding and serving the most difficult child to serve. that child who moves frequently. Other State and Federal programs. including the Chapter 1 Basic Grant Program. must be encouraged to pay more attention to the needs of migrant and former migrant children. This bill makes several changes to the existing program. First. the bill redefines the period of eligibility.
