Migrant Education
The summer agriculture economy in Delaware depends on migrant laborers. There are around 600 migrant workers who come to Delaware. Some bring their whole families. Their older kids sometimes join the parents in the fields and packing houses, but what about younger kids? They can get into a special scholastic camp. It’s a federal program that’s been around for a half century.
