Georgia MEP's Consortium Incentive Grants
The U.S. Department of Education awarded four continuation Consortium Incentive Grants (CIGs) to 33 participating States. The CIG program provides financial incentives to SEAs to improve the interstate or intrastate coordination of migrant education programs by addressing key academic needs of migratory children who have their education interrupted. The Georgia Migrant Education Program (GaMEP) has participated in three of the four funded CIG programs since 2015.
- The Preschool Initiative Consortium Incentive Grant (PI CIG) aims to increase parent engagement and improve migrant preschoolers’ academic performance. For more information visit: http://www.preschoolinitiative.org/

FY18 IP Eval Form Now Available
As part of our commitment to supporting the efforts of the GaDOE Georgia’s System of Continuous Improvement, the Georgia Migrant Education Program has created an online form for reporting services provided to migrant children and youth by districts that submitted project plans during the 2017-2018 school year. Remember that completion as well as submission of the FY18 IP Evaluation form is not only vital in determining the effectiveness and impact of the supplemental academic services provided to eligible migrant participants in your district but also essential in helping us make better programmatic decisions which will improve Our service delivery framework Under Title I, Part C in Georgia.
