Abstract	Intended for federal policymakers, this study examined four aspects of the Chapter 1 migrant education program: program administration, program services, students served, and program expenditures. Case studies were conducted in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Texas between November 1986 and March 1987. State agencies and 10 project sites were visited in the 6 states. Study questions posed by the United States Department of Education were investigated. Some of the findings were that: some sites, even those with large migrant populations, chose not to participate in the program; most control over program decisions was at the local, not state, level; local initiative was the only source for inter- and intra-state coordination; project funds were generally allocated on a per pupil basis; and, different administrative models were used in the six states. Further, most resources and efforts were devoted to instructional assistance for students; various services were offered; eligible students were selected to receive services according to their needs; staff believed that children were present for more of the school year than was the case in previous years; and, salaries accounted for the largest proportion of program expenditures at the local level. Samples of documents used to report data are included. (JMM)
