Priority for Service (PFS) Action Plan

for Migrant Students

As part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the Priority for Service (PFS) Action Plan is a required program activity for the Migrant Education Program. In providing

services with funds received under this part, each recipient of such funds shall give priority to migratory children who have made a qualifying move within the previous 1-year

period and who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the challenging State academic standards; or have dropped out of school. [§1304 [20 U.S.C. 6394](d)].

The Priority for Service Report on NGS must be used to determine who to serve first and foremost with MEP funds. Students are identified as PFS if they meet the following

criteria:

Priority for Service Criteria

Grades 3-12,

Ungraded (UG) or

Out of School (OS)

Who have made a qualifying move within the previous 1-year period;

AND

Have failed one or more of the state assessments (TAKS/STAAR/EOC), or were granted a TAKS LEP Postponement, were

Absent, Not Tested or were not enrolled in a Texas school during the state assessment testing period for their grade level.

Grades K-3 Who have made a qualifying move within the previous 1-year period;

AND

Have been designated LEP in the Student Designation section of the New Generation System (NGS) Supplemental Program

Component; or

For students in grades K-2, who have been retained, or are overage for their current grade level.

The following document is provided by TEA for districts to help document efforts that are being conducted on behalf of Priority for Service students. It contains all of the

required components as described in Part 4 of the ESSA Application in the Provisions and Assurances, but also allows room for districts to add additional activities. Each

district’s plan must clearly articulate criteria for defining student success, including timelines for achieving stated goals and objectives.

NOTE: This document can be obtained electronically in MS Word format from the regional ESC MEP Coordinator. (Original on file at Migrant office)

Filled Out By: Jaime Rodriguez

Region: 1 School Year: 2019 - 2020 Date: August 15, 2019

Note: Title I, Part C Coordinator or MEP staff will include the PFS Action Plan in the district improvement plan as a separate section appropriately labeled or identified (e.g.,

“Migrant PFS Action Pan Section”), rather than integrating the action plan elements with other DIP sections that focus on other student population groups (e.g., Bilingual,

ESL, economically disadvantage).

Goal(s):

To focus on the unmet needs of migrant students who are Priority for Services (PFS)

by providing them with the supplemental instruction and support services.

Objective(s):

All PFS students will have access to supplemental instruction and

support services. All parents of PFS students will be informed of

their child’s academic progress and the instructional services provided.
