Oregon had an increase for performance year 2013-2014. The 19 Regional Programs responded with possible reasons that might have contributed to the increase in Cat. 1 count: local MEP programs made extra efforts to contact families, modified recruitment strategies (door-to-door recruitment, made contact with families yearly, recruiting in pairs, exploring new apartment complexes, increase OSY recruitment in camps, explore new camps, conducting radio announcements, etc.). The state had an influx number of families from Guatemala, El Salvador and California, etc.

Oregon had an increase for performance year 2012.2013.  The 19 Regional Programs responded with possible reasons that contributed to the increase in Category 1 count:  programs made extra efforts to contact families, changing recruitment strategies (more door-to-door recruitment, recruiting in pairs, exploring new apartment complexes, increase OSY recruitment in camps, explore new camps, conducting radio announcements, etc.), increased number of families moving for the strawberries harvest, cross checking the LEA s student information system against OMSIS, and etc.

Oregon's 2011-2012 Category 1 count decreased slightly from the 2010-2011 performance year.  The decrease can be attributed to: staff turnover, immigration raids, new driver license requirements, weather, housing is one of the biggest problems, and the natural cycle of crops is changing.

Oregon's 2010-2011 Category 1 count decreased slightly from the 2009-2010 performance year.  The decrease can be attributed to two reasons: economy and weather.  The slowing economy hit our migrant families hard.  Families were not traveling because of the increased costs of gasoline and housing.  Those families who could afford to travel, arrived to find that the crops were not ready for harvest and had to move on to other states.  The berry, pear, apple and cherry crops were all late in Oregon this summer.
