1-800-234-8848
The National Migrant Education Hotline provides a
toll-free number (1-800-234-8848) for migrant farm workers and their families
to call from anywhere in the country. The Hotline is designed to assist
in enrolling migrant children in school and to provide access to migrant
education program services. Hotline Specialists, who take calls, also
refer callers to appropriate agencies and organizations when they need
other supportive services such as housing, transportation, health or legal
aid.

Oregon's Hotline Specialist is Judy Weaver,
program trainer for parent involvement at the MESC. She can be reached
at 503-385-4678 or judy.weaver@wesd.org.
The MESC refers incoming calls to local migrant programs.
The local programs then refer the families to the appropriate agencies
and organizations within their community.
