GOSOSY recognizes that preventing the dropout of a migratory student before it happens is an important part of providing the best service to the entire migratory education community. To that end, members of the consortium have begun work to identify the reasons why students drop out and to offer strategies to mitigate those reasons.
Migrant Education Programs (MEPs) are comprised of dedicated staff who work together to provide educational opportunities for eligible students and improve their overall well-being. The teams may include intervention specialists, teachers, instructional aides, recruiters, parent liaisons, program administrators, and others who work collaboratively to support students and encourage their school engagement and attendance. All of these MEP service providers who work with at-risk high school students and/or out-of-school youth (OSY) have a part to play in encouraging youth to re-engage in educational activities/return to school.
