Federal Programs

Bulloch County Schools annually invites and includes parents and the community to participate in developing a Consolidated Local Education Agency Improvement Plan.

The plan fulfills the need for the school district, as the local education agency, to submit to the Georgia Department of Education, a consolidated plan that defines how  the district supports students when accepting federal funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015.  

The plan must be approved annually by the state in order for our schools to receive funding from these state and federal programs.
If you need additional information, contact Bulloch County Schools' Federal Programs Director Michael Powell at 912.212.8555.

Migrant Education Program
Title I, Part C

The Migrant Education Program is a national program that annually provides supplemental education and supportive services to approximately 800,000 eligible migrant children across the country to help them overcome educational disruptions and disadvantages which result from the culture of migration. The Migrant Education Program grew out of Title I of Public Law 89-10, passed in 1965, to assist all disadvantaged children. Since migrant children have specific needs, they require special help and services. Thus, the Migrant Education Program was established separately by an amendment to Title I in 1966.

Some of the students in our schools are eligible for the Migrant Education Program Instructional and Support Services. The Migrant Education Program, a component of Federal Programs, is a federally funded educational program for students whose parents move across school district boundaries seeking temporary of seasonal work in agriculture and fishing. Eligibility must be verified prior to a child's participation in the program.
