This evaluation report of Colorado's migrant education program during fiscal year 1987-88 was published according to a federal requirement. The program's background, budget, and funding sources are described. The 1987-88 figures on student and district involvement are reported. In the 1987-88 school year, 4,771 children were identified as eligible migrants and were enrolled in the state's Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS), a 22% increase over the previous year. The majority of program participants were in the 5- to 9-year-old range. The document also profiles children who participated in the state's summer program. Funding sources are also described, along with program services, staffing policy, parent involvement, and coordination with other agencies. Local programs were surveyed on questions of performance and MSRTS improvement. Various components, such as health programs, are described. Test results show academic progress made by program participants. The summer migrant education program was assessed favorably, but the regular year program met only one portion of its achievement objectives. The document defines increased participation and higher satisfaction as goals for the 1988-89 program. (TES)
