Migrant Education
Migrant Education is a federally funded program authorized under the Every Student Succeeds Act (Title I, Part C) designed to provide supplementary educational and support services to identified migratory children and youth. Migratory children and youth are those who move periodically with their parents / guardians as they do seasonal agricultural work including field / farm work, work in nurseries, packing agricultural products, dairy, lumber, or fishing. Youth on their own doing this type of work and moving periodically also qualify for the program until they receive a high school diploma, or equivalent, or turn 22 years old.
Migrant Education Program Region 9 serves all qualifying children and youth in Orange and San Diego counties and is administered by the San Diego County Office of Education. Currently, Region 9 serves approximately 4,000 migratory children and youth (ages 3 to 21) in 56 school districts across both counties.
Migrant Education, Region 9, collaborates with school districts, charter schools, and community agencies to provide supplemental supports and services to ensure equitable educational outcomes and increase graduation rates for migratory children and youth. Region 9 also provides substantial parent engagement and training opportunities and works closely with migratory parents to plan and deliver services that best meet the needs of their children.

About:
Migrant Education is proud to host this event in conjunction with Palomar College. All eligible Migrant Education families are welcome.
The 2025 Migrant Education Regional Parent Conference provides an opportunity for parents to learn how to support all aspects of their children’s academic, personal, and emotional growth via workshops presented by experts in the fields of education, mental health, public health, cybersecurity, and financial literacy, to name a few.
There will also be opportunities for health, vision, and dental screenings, as well as a variety of informational booths provided by non-profits, community services, and local businesses. As parents are learning and enjoying the presentations, the conference also provides educational and informational lessons, activities, and demonstrations for the migratory children whose parents attend.
The Regional Parent Conference is for the whole family! Children in preschool who are at least 3 years old and those in grades TK-12 will have their own speakers, workshops, and learning opportunities while parents attend their own sessions.
Our exhibit area will include a wide variety of community resources and information from businesses serving the Migratory farmworking and Latino communities. Just some of our exhibitors are MyPoint Credit Union, Universidad Popular, Southern Caregiver Resource Center, San Diego County Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities, and the Consulates of Mexico and Guatemala.
