Coachella Valley Unified School Districts has been using their LCAP funds to help serve their migrant students in their two high schools: Desert Mirage High School and Coachella Valley High School. Migrant students are students whose parents/families have "migrated" away from their local area in search of farm work, packing shed work or to work in fisheries during the last three years qualify as migrant students. This applies whether employment was found or not. In addition, students from families who come to the area in search of farm work.

CVUSD has invested further in helping migrant students by hiring two migrant outreach teachers to help students keep track of their studies and grades as their migrant students may be off track whenever they move. The results of having migrant outreach teachers have been awesome as they have built a family culture for students to feel welcomed and focused to do well in their classes whereas before, migrant students sometimes fall through the cracks due to nature of the working situation of their families.
