Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) has a continued need to
support existing regulations for the use
of the Migrant Student Information
Exchange (MSIX), a nationwide,
electronic records exchange mechanism
mandated under Title I, Part C of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA), as amended. As a condition
of receiving a grant of funds under the
Migrant Education Program (MEP), each
State educational agency (SEA) is
required to collect, maintain, and
submit minimum health and educationrelated data to MSIX within established
time-frames. These regulations facilitate
timely school enrollment, placement,
and accrual of secondary course credits
for migratory children and help us
determine accurate migratory child
counts and meet other MEP reporting
requirements. The MEP is authorized
under sections 1301–1309 in Title I, Part
C of the ESEA. MSIX and the minimum
data elements (MDEs) are authorized
specifically under section 1308(b) of the
ESEA. The burden hours and costs
associated with this data collection are
required to ensure that States
implement and utilize MSIX for
interstate migrant student records
exchange, which will then enable the
Department to meet the statutory
mandate in section 1308(b) of the ESEA
to facilitate the electronic exchange of
MDEs by SEAs to address the
educational and related needs of
migratory children.
