Southern Pine Migrant Education Agency
http://www.gadoe.org/ci_iap_migrant.aspx?PageReq=CIIAPMigReg4
Southern Pine Migrant Education Agency (SPMEA) provides the technical, educational, and support services to twenty-two school systems in Region 4. This Region includes an area ranging from the East near the Atlantic Coast to the West-central section of the state and North for about 85 miles north to the south-central section of our state. As the agency name indicates, this is the piney wood region of the state and is included in the Coastal Plains topographical section. Within this region are The Okefenokee Swamp and its adjoining sand hill region containing a large portion of the state’s richest and most productive agricultural farmland. Because of this rich farmland, South Georgia has numerous extensive and labor-intensive agricultural activities which bring migrant families and emancipated youths into the area. These farm workers are parents of numerous students who move into the SPMEA service delivery and are enrolled in our 22 school systems. Their parents or guardians work with crops such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, peaches, greens, grapes, and blueberries. The continuous introductions of new seasonal crops and processing activities adapted to the various growing seasons of the year are now requiring the services of migrant farm workers year round.
