The packet of materials includes brief discussions of the background and reactivation of the Task Force on Migrant Education; State Board of Education instructions to the Task Force; memos of instructions from Florida's Bureau of Compensatory Education to selected superintendents and agency heads; transcript excerpts from the April 5 and 19 meetings of RCMA with the State Board of Education; a federal review of Florida's migrant education program and the state's response; various compilations of statistics on Florida's migrant children; and pertinent news clippings. The report also provides a memorandum from the Florida Department of Education on the benefits of the Early Childhood Program; an excerpt from the report "What Effective Schooling Research Says to Migrant Education Program Planners" (by William G. Savard and Kathleen Cotton) discussing parent participation in instructional programs; the State Cabinet's concerns about school children and the schools; a "bill analysis" of State Representative Bob Johnson's bill creating the Dropout Prevention Target Program and a copy of the bill itself; "A Study of Florida Secondary School Dropouts," a final report by MGT of America, Inc.; and a table entitled "Survival Ratios by Grade Groups for the Total School Population and Identified Migrants 1979-1982."
