According to the mayor's office, the project will aim to simplify the school enrollment program, provide supplies and backpacks, connect families to clinics for healthcare, offer support in native languages, and to make sure migrant children have "access to universal-social-emotional supports."
The plan will also ensure that curriculum resources are "culturally and linguistically responsive," with teachers getting additional instruction "in the areas of second language acquisition and specialized instruction for diverse learners," the city announced. The plan will also see collaboration to offer legal services and transportation.
