Why DPI Interviews Families
- We want to provide support
- Children must be identified by a state MEP “recruiter” to be eligible for services
- All information is confidential
- Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, so the recruiter needs to know your story, in particular, to verify your children are eligible.
Regional Summer Program
The summer MEP supplements district-based summer school programs in five regions throughout the state. Please reach out to DPI staff for more information about summer programs in your area or visit the MEP website.
