It is our belief that a new. more effective method of transferring records can be developed which costs a lot less and frees up additional funds to serve this highrisk population of students. Mr. Speaker. migrant children are among our Nations most vulnerable students. They often miss a great deal of school. live in less than acceptable conditions during their migration and spend long hours working In the fields and orchards to help their parents support their families. These children deserve the same highquality education as all other students in our great Nation and I believe the legislation we are introducing today will help Improve their access to such programs.
