Tracy Gallegos, RAC Advisor (Mesa County School District 51, Formerly of Colorado Migrant Education Program)
The Colorado Migrant Education Program is designed to identify and serve all migrant children/youth and families with a recent history of working in
temporary or seasonal agricultural work. Our vision is to provide equitable resources and outcomes to ensure that all migrant children/youth are postsecondary and workforce ready and that all families are empowered to succeed. As the Director of the West Central Region for the Migrant Education Program, I worked with this project as an external project consultant. I have a working relationship with the school districts in the RAC network, and I worked with students and families in these areas. This allowed me to inform the RAC members of some of the needs and barriers our underserved students face to gaining meaningful access to art experiences. I shared insight gained from my experience of over twenty years as an educator working with historically underserved students and families. I also facilitated a variety of culturally rich artistic experiences with some of the RAC members and the Aspen Art Museum.
