Sec. 200.83 Responsibilities of SEAs to implement projects through a
comprehensive needs assessment and a comprehensive State plan for
service delivery.

(a) An SEA that receives a grant of MEP funds must develop and
update a written comprehensive State plan (based on a current statewide
needs assessment) that, at a minimum, has the following components:
(1) Performance targets. The plan must specify--
(i) Performance targets that the State has adopted for all children
in reading and mathematics achievement, high school graduation, and the
number of school dropouts, as well as the State's performance targets,
if any, for school readiness; and
(ii) Any other performance targets that the State has identified
for migratory children.
(2) Needs assessment. The plan must include an identification and
assessment of--
(i) The unique educational needs of migratory children that result
from the children's migratory lifestyle; and
(ii) Other needs of migratory students that must be met in order
for migratory children to participate effectively in school.
(3) Service delivery. The plan must describe the strategies that
the SEA will pursue on a statewide basis to achieve the performance
targets in paragraph (a)(1) of this section by addressing--
(i) The unique educational needs of migratory children consistent
with paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section; and
(ii) Other needs of migratory children consistent with paragraph
(a)(2)(ii) of this section.
(4) Evaluation. The plan must describe how the State will evaluate
the effectiveness of its program.
(b) The SEA must develop its comprehensive State plan in
consultation with the State parent advisory council or, for SEAs not
operating programs for one school year in duration, in consultation
with the parents of migratory children. This consultation must be in a
format and language that the parents understand.
(c) Each SEA receiving MEP funds must ensure that its local
operating agencies comply with the comprehensive State plan.
