Priority for Services: Eligibility Determination Worksheet

The Priority for Services (PFS): Eligibility Determination Worksheet will assist the local MEP in determining which migrant students meet the Priority for Services criteria and should receive migrant services first. This information should be used to update the Michigan Educational Database System (MEDS) and kept on file, along with supporting documentation, in a central location designated by the local MEP director. Achievement data used in making the PFS determination should be less than one year old.
