Neglected and Delinquent
The Part D, Subpart 1, State Agency Neglected and Delinquent (N
and D) program provides formula grants to SEAs for supplementary education
services to help provide education continuity for children and youths
in state-run institutions for juveniles and in adult correctional institutions
so that these youths can make successful transitions to school or employment
once they are released. Funds are allocated by formula to SEAs, which
make subgrants to the state agencies responsible for educating neglected
or delinquent children and youths. To be eligible for state N and D funds,
juvenile institutions must provide 20 hours a week of instruction from
nonfederal funds; adult correctional institutions must provide 15 hours.
The Subpart 2 Local Education Agency Program requires each SEA to reserve
from its Title I, Part A, allocation, funds generated by the number of
children in locally operated institutions for delinquent youths. Funds
are awarded to LEAs with high proportions of youths in local correctional
facilities to support dropout prevention programs for at-risk youths.
Types of Projects
The programs support supplemental instruction in core subject areas,
such as reading and mathematics, as well as tutoring, counseling, and transition
services.
